The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in the old units. It’s a bleak outlook, plain and simple. We’ve got a long, empty 16-day stretch coming up with no decent surf to chase. It’s one of those runs where you just have to look the other way.
At Walkers, the wind is the killer. It’s howling from the east and east-northeast at 12 to 19 mph, putting a rough cross-onshore chop on everything. The swell is coming from the east, but it’s all short-period junk between 6 and 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate to strong (207), but it’s irrelevant when the surface is a mess. Every session is marked "poor surf conditions," and that’s the gospel truth.
Come the 30th of September, the swell jumps to a solid 8 ft from the east with a huge combined energy of (829), but it’s paired with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s big and lumpy – strictly for the experts, and even then, it’s a battle. The water temp is about what you’d expect for the season.
This whole forecast is better suited for kite surfers than anyone with a paddle. There’s just no clean, rideable wave to be found. Keep the board stored away and hope the next forecast brings better news.

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.
