The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. This stretch we’re looking at is a bait-and-switch. We’ve got some serious swell on the menu, but the wind is going to be kicking up a fuss for most of it, making things messy. There’s a promise of some real power around the 24th, but it comes with a side of onshore wind, so it’s not the clean one you’re hoping for.
We start off on Saturday the 15th with a solid 10ft of ENE swell, but a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 22 mph is turning it into a chop-fest. The water’s warm at 84°, which is normal for this time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it in that lump. The energy is strong, sitting at 1670, but it’s all for nothing. Sunday sees it drop slightly to 7ft, still with that cross-onshore wind, and the period shortens up a bit.
Monday and Tuesday, the 17th and 18th, the swell comes down to 6ft and 4ft, but the wind, while easing a little, is still cross-onshore, leaving it choppy and poor. The energy drops into the moderate range, but it’s not going to be any fun. Wednesday the 19th we’re looking at weak energy and a continuing cross-onshore blow.
Thursday and Friday the 20th and 21st, the wind picks back up to a fresh 19 mph, still cross-onshore, and the period drops to a short 7 seconds. That’s just onshore slop. Not a second thought.
The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd is small and still cross-onshore, with the chance of a thunderstorm on Sunday. The energy is weak. It’s a dead zone.
Then comes the one to watch. Monday the 24th. The model shows a real groundswell pushing in with a wave height of 7ft and a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1158 – that's solid. This is a big, powerful swell. But that wind, a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, is still going to be right in your face. This is not for the faint of heart, this is expert territory. It’s the most powerful day of the stretch, but it’s still going to be rough.
The rest of the week and into the end of the month, we see the swell hover around the 5ft mark, but the wind just doesn’t let up, staying cross-onshore and lumpy. The period drops, the energy fades. The 24th is your only real shot at some serious power, but you’ll be working for it. It’s a bummer of a forecast, but that’s the ocean for you. The wind’s gotta ease eventually.
Keep the wetsuit handy and the expectations low.
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.
