Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: this forecast is a tough one. Right now and for the entire 16-day run, the conditions at Walkers just aren't playing ball. The swell is there, but it's not the kind you want to paddle into.
We kick off Saturday the 4th with a 7ft E swell, but it's a short period of 8 seconds and the wind is hammering from the ENE at 22 mph, making for a lumpy, cross-onshore mess. This pattern is pretty relentless. The swell sticks around mostly between 5ft and 8ft through the week, but that wind – a fresh breeze from the east or east-northeast – barely lets up, keeping things choppy and poor. The combined wave energy is moderate, bouncing around in the hundreds (like 548 on Saturday morning) and peaking at 1038 on Thursday the 9th, but it’s all wasted by the wind.
There is absolutely nothing here for a surfer to get excited about. Even the bigger days, like Thursday the 9th with an 8ft E swell, are just blown-out. With the consistent cross-onshore wind, this setup honestly looks like it’s more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The water temp is a pretty normal 83°, but that’s a small comfort when the waves are junk.
For the second week, from around the 14th to the 19th, the swell drops off a bit, with heights around 5ft to 6ft, but the story stays the same: cross-onshore winds and poor surf quality. There are no standouts, no hidden gems. This is a blank run. For the area, when the trade winds lock in like this, it’s not unusual – forecasts can change, but for now, it's a case of sit this one out.

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.
