The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Walkers for the next couple of weeks.
First thing – we’ve got a real flat, ugly patch to start. From Friday 14 August all the way through Monday 24 August, it’s just poor conditions day after day. The wind is a killer – mostly a fresh cross-onshore breeze, sometimes moderate, but always messing up the face of the waves. The swell is running, but it’s short period windswell at 8 seconds, and with that wind direction, it’s just lumpy, choppy, and messy. Not worth the paddle. The combined wave energy is moderate through this stretch, from 162 to 793, but it’s all junk.
The only half-decent window is Tuesday 25 August. The breeze eases up to a gentle cross-shore, which at least takes the wind off the face. The swell hits 7ft from the ENE, still short period at 8 seconds, with wave energy around 533. The call is “marginal,” and that’s fair. It’s not clean, but it’s the best we’ve seen in over a week. Tuesday afternoon is similar with 7ft and a moderate cross-chop. You could scratch into a couple, but don’t expect any sort of quality.
From Wednesday 26 August through Saturday 29 August, it’s back to the same old story – fresh cross-onshore wind, lumpy surf, and poor conditions. The swell hangs around 5ft to 6ft, but with that wind, it’s a write-off.
Truth is, there’s no standout here. If I had to pick the best, it’s Tuesday 25 August, and that’s saying something. The wind is the big bad wolf across the whole 16-day stretch. With a break like this needing a NE swell and clean wind, the constant onshore and cross-onshore breeze just ruins it. No need to rush.
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.
