The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s see what’s on the table.
To be straight with you, mate, the next 16 days are a total write-off for proper waves here. From the 12th of September right through to the 27th, every single session shows "poor surf conditions" with that nagging onshore wind just ruining any chance of a clean face. It’s a long stretch of nothing, so don’t get your hopes up.
We’ve only got one spot coming through – Walkers. And it’s a consistent spot, which would normally be a good sign, but the wind story is a nightmare. The water temp is sitting at about 85°, which is pretty normal for this time of year with only a tiny anomaly.
Throughout the whole period, it’s a constant cross-onshore easterly breeze, mostly moderate to fresh (12-18 mph), making everything lumpy and choppy. Morning of the 16th sees the swell drop to a tiny 2 ft with a weak energy (164), but the wind is still fresh cross-on. The swell sticks around between 2 ft and 6 ft, but the period is short, between 6 and 9 seconds, meaning weak, messy waves. The combined energy tops out at around 346 on the 13th morning, which is still just moderate, but with that wind, it’s useless. The swell comes persistently from the east-northeast, which is cross-on for Walkers, definitely not the offshore southwest direction you want here.
Don’t even think about any standout sessions. There are none. The consistent break is a tease, but it’s not gonna clean up. With a constant onshore wind, a beach break like this is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than for us paddle folk. Just a blank, frustrating run here. Forecasts can always change, but right now, put the boards away for a couple of weeks.

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.
