The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you, the outlook for Walkers over the next 16 days is a tough one. The finder is showing consistent options, but conditions are shot to pieces the whole way through, so there isn't actually a single session worth paddling out for. That's the short of it.
Right from Thursday the 27th of August, the swell is there, 5 ft ENE at a short 8 seconds, but a moderate cross-onshore easterly breeze at 16 mph ruins any chance of clean waves. The water temp is 84°, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't be worrying about that because you'll be on the beach. The combined energy is moderate at 441, but with "poor surf conditions" the whole way, it's just frustrating.
The entire run from Thursday through to mid-September is plagued by the same story: east to southeast winds pumping in at 16 to 19 mph, sometimes gusting to 28 mph, keeping the ocean messy, lumpy, and choppy. There's a brief moment on Saturday the 29th of August when the wind drops to 9 mph in the arvo, but it's still cross-onshore and the swell is only 4 ft short-period – not worth getting wet for.
On Sunday the 30th of August, the swell actually jumps to 7 ft ENE with a better 10-second period, giving us a combined energy of 957 (strong). That's the most punch we'll see. But again, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore out of the east-southeast, keeping it choppy. The punch is there, but it's messy chaos.
Every single session from then on is labelled "poor surf conditions." Even when the swell pulses again around Thursday the 10th of September to 8 ft ENE at 8 seconds (combined energy 779–816), the wind is a fresh to strong cross-onshore easterly, making it a blustery mess. By Friday the 11th of September, winds hit 28 mph – that's kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. Honestly, with that much swell and those strong, onshore winds on a beach setup, this whole window looks way more interesting for kite surfing.
Look, Walkers is a consistent break and it usually gets something, but the wind gods are not playing ball here. It's a solid 16-day gap with zero recommendations. That's a rough run for this area, but when the trades get locked in like this, you just have to wait for a change. Forecasts can shift, but right now, there's nothing to rush for.
Stay patient. Rusty.

Information about the Walkers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Walkers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Walkers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Walkers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Walkers) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Walkers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
