The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got on the books for the next couple of weeks at Wallys.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first several days are a write-off. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor conditions from the start of the forecast period through the first week of September. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, and it’s just not worth paddling out for. The water temp is a very unusual 75° , which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
Things start to show a little pulse of life as we head into the end of the first week. Thursday the 3rd morning, the wind finally swings offshore from the SE, a light breeze, and we get a clean 1ft swell from the SW. The energy is still weak (225), but it’s surfable. Friday the 4th morning is similar, with a bit more size at 3ft from the SSW, clean conditions, and moderate energy (443). Saturday the 5th morning is marginal, but it’s there.
Now, the standout window, and the only real reason to be stoked, is Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th. Sunday afternoon, the NNE wind picks up to 16 mph, blowing cross-offshore, cleaning up a building 4ft S swell. The energy is ramping up to 768. But the real gem is Monday the 7th morning. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell from the S, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy hits 1112, which is strong. The period is 14 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell. With that longer period and a point break setup, the waves should have some real shape and power. This is the best on offer, but keep in mind that 5ft and a longer period like that can be a bit much for beginners. It’s gonna be a proper session for the experienced crew.
After that, it drops off again. Tuesday the 8th morning holds some size at 6ft from the S, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the NE, which will make it a battle. The rest of the second week fades back into tiny, poor-quality surf with weak energy and onshore winds. Not much to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud, there’s a sharp, clean window on Monday the 7th morning that’s the pick of the period, and then it’s back to flat and choppy.
Rusty out.

Information about the Wallys Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wallys provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wallys can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wallys 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 (Wallys) 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 Wallys 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.
