Table - best surf conditions forecast for Walton Rocks (Power Plant) over the next 16 days.
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks over at Walton Rocks (Power Plant). This is a beach and reef setup that's exposed to the north-east, so it needs a good push from that direction to get going. The water temp is sitting at a warm 85° and that's pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there in terms of a cool shock when you jump in.
Honestly, I'm looking at this 16-day window and it's a bit of a flat spell we're in for. The whole run is basically filled with "poor surf conditions" across every single session. There's no real stand-out day where everything clicks into place. What we've got is a series of very small, weak swells, mostly from the east or south-east, with periods that are short – bouncing between 4 and 9 seconds. That means mushy, weak waves that aren't going to give you much to work with. The wave energy figures tell the same story, spending most of their time below 30 (weak energy), and only pushing up to a moderate 69 on the 25th of July Saturday afternoon, but even that's tied to a fresh cross-shore wind from the SE.
If you're desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows will be those very light or glassy mornings. The 12th of July Sunday morning is glassy with a tiny 0.7ft easterly swell, but that's not going to break anything rideable. The 15th July Wednesday morning is also glassy with a similar 1ft north-easterly swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The 22nd of July Wednesday morning looks clean with an offshore wind from the SW, but again, the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the ESE with a 4-second period. It's basically a lake paddle.
The best of a very average bunch might be the 24th of July Friday morning. It's not saying much, but the swell is 2ft from the east with an 8-second period, the energy bumps up to 54 (moderate energy), and the wind is a clean cross-off from the SE. You might find a few knee-high crumbly waves that morning, but don't expect much.
Crowds at Walton Rocks can happen sometimes, but with surf this small, it'll be a quiet one. It's going to be more of a social paddle and a tanning session than a surf mission. For the next two weeks, I'd say put the boards away or find something else to do.
