The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this next 16 days is a tough watch. The only spot on the radar is Walkers, and right now, it’s just not happening. The sea is a mess of cross-onshore winds that aren’t giving up, and the waves are chopped up and lumpy as a result. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor conditions with no real let-up from that persistent wind.
The swell energy is weak to start, with a combined energy of just 88 on Wednesday the 22nd morning, and it’s only a short period 6 second wind swell at 4ft from the east. The wind is coming from the east at 15 mph, cross-on and choppy. That’s the story all the way through the first week. By the 24th, the swell picks up a bit, hitting 5ft on Friday afternoon with a combined energy of 286, but that east wind stays on it, cross-on and fresh. The wind state is described as "fresh cross-onshore and lumpy" for a lot of the afternoon sessions, which is about as fun as it sounds.
Heading into the second week, around the 29th of July, the swell gets bigger – 8ft with a combined energy of 748 on Wednesday morning – but it’s the same damn story. East wind, 22 mph, cross-on, and lumpy. That’s too big for beginners and the conditions are just plain ugly. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a messy, weak wind swell. The energy is strong, but it’s not doing you any favors with the onshore breeze.
The water temp at Walkers is about 82°F, which is normal for the time of year, so you won’t need a hood.
Honestly, there is no standout. There is no morning or afternoon that’s worth paddling out for a surfer. If you’re looking at this setup with that strong, consistent cross-onshore wind and the messy surf, this is more of a kite surfer’s kind of ocean than a paddle surfer’s. The conditions just aren’t making any waves worth riding for surfers. The break is consistent, but the quality is zero.
For now, save your energy. It’s a blank run.
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.
