Windang Island Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, let's talk about the same stretch in feet and miles per hour.

We're kicking off on Saturday, August 1st, at Windang Island. The waves are a clean 5 feet from the SSE with a 9-second interval. The wind is a light south-westerly, a cross-off, so it's gonna look good. The water is 65°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 356, so there's some grunt. It's a reef and point, so it'll handle the swell. This spot can get crowded sometimes, so keep your eyes peeled.

Saturday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, which is perfect. The swell drops a touch to 5 feet, but the glassy conditions make it a great session.

Sunday the 2nd, the swell holds around 5 feet, but it's a longer period groundswell from the SE at 12 seconds, pumping the energy up to 673. The wind goes bad, though. North wind in the morning, then a nasty 25 mph cross-onshore from the NE in the afternoon. It'll be a choppy mess.

Monday the 3rd, the swell drops off hard. The energy is weak. You might get a clean window in the afternoon with a strong offshore, but the waves are only 2 feet. Not much to work with.

Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are flat, with barely any energy in the water.

Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, the swell comes back to 6 feet from the south, with a 9-second interval. The energy is strong at 746, and the wind is a clean 15 mph offshore from the WSW. This is a very good call for a fun session.

Thursday the 6th, you want to be out in the morning. It's glassy with a 5-foot south swell. The afternoon gets a bump to 6 feet, but the onshore wind will ruin it.

Now, the big one. Saturday, August 15th. This is a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed, but it looks unreal. The morning is dead calm, zero wind. The swell is only 3 feet, but it's a groundswell from the SSE with a 21-second period. The energy reading is a massive 980, meaning a ton of power for the size. At a reef and point, this very long period swell will set up some beautiful, clean lines. It's a rare forecast.

The following Sunday the 16th has a 4-foot SSE swell and a 13-second period, but the wind is a bit messy, so it's not as good.

So, the pattern is a slow middle stretch, but the first weekend and especially that Saturday the 15th are the ones to get excited about. That's your target.

Rusty.
