The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Westport-The Cove for the next couple of weeks.
Overall, there are some clean, fun windows, but they’re broken up by plenty of onshore chop and small days. It’s not a consistent run, so you’ve gotta pick your moments.
The clear winner is Sunday morning, September 6th. Dead calm, glassy, with a 0.8m SW groundswell at 16 seconds – that’s a long-period pulse with 409 units of energy. The water temp is pretty normal for this time of year. For a beginner-friendly beach and jetty setup, this is about as perfect as it gets.
Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th are messy – onshore wind, small waves, choppy. Wednesday morning the 9th is marginal with light wind and 0.8m from the W, but it’s cross-onshore. Thursday and Friday the 10th and 11th see the swell bump up to 1.8m–2.1m from the WNW, but with strong cross-onshore winds and short period (7–9 seconds), it’s choppy and tough. Friday afternoon is a little cleaner but still only marginal. With that much wind and size at a beach setup, kite surfers might have more fun than paddle surfers.
Saturday morning, September 12th, is another glassy gem: 0.8m SW swell at 15 seconds, 528 energy, clean as a whistle. Then it drops off again Sunday and Monday.
Monday September 14th morning offers 1.5m from the WNW with light cross-offshore wind – clean and punchy. That’s a good session for intermediate to experienced surfers. The afternoon stays clean with 1.3m.
After that, the second week goes quiet. From Wednesday September 16th afternoon through Saturday the 19th, there’s a three-day lull of tiny, choppy surf. Sunday the 20th morning shows 0.7m from the SW with light wind, but it’s marginal and onshore. Monday the 21st is similar.
So keep your eyes on this Sunday morning, September 6th, and next Saturday morning, September 12th – they’re the cream of the crop. The Monday the 14th session is also worth a look for a bit more size. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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 Westport-The Cove 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.
