Windang Island Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Windang Island has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, there’s a bit of a lull. The early part of the week is pretty grim with small, messy waves and poor winds. We’re looking at a few days of weak, choppy conditions for the most part before things start to clean up.

Now, the standout window is shaping up for Thursday morning, the 27th of August. We’ve got a 4ft south swell with a moderate energy reading (284) and the wind is going glassy, dead calm. That’s going to make for some super clean, lined-up waves on that reef and point setup. This is a solid option for the advanced surfers out there, and with that offshore direction being spot-on for the optimum swell direction (SE), it’s the pick of the fortnight.

A bit further out, Monday morning the 31st of August also looks promising. It’s a much smaller swell, only 2ft, but it’s a very long period groundswell coming from the SSE with a period of 19 seconds. The energy reading is up there at 300, and it’ll be glassy again. While the size is tiny, that long period will offer some real smooth, powerful lines, best for the point and reef there.

Into the first week of September, Tuesday the 1st offers a clean 2ft south swell with a 13-second period and light cross-off wind from the NW. The combined energy is 215, so there’s some push in it, but it’s still on the small side. It’s a cleaner, more surfable option than what we’ve had.

For the rest of the window, most days are a washout with onshore winds and small, poor-quality surf. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

So, to wrap it up: keep your eyes on Thursday the 27th for the best chance of a good session. Monday the 31st is a long-range call for a small, but very clean, glassy wave. Everything else looks pretty average.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
