Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Appelviken.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. There’s nothing on the menu that’s worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a long, dry spell with no real surf energy to speak of. For the first week and a half, the combined swell energy barely registers a pulse, with values mostly in the single digits (0–6). The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is about average for the time of year, so a spring suit is all you’ll need if you’re just floating around.
We start off with a bit of a tease on Thursday, July 9th. A tiny 1ft W swell shows up with a short 4-second period. The morning’s clean with a light NE offshore, but the swell is so weak (combined energy of just 4) it’s not doing anything. That fades into nothing by Friday.
There’s a solid gap of days with zero surf – Saturday the 11th through Wednesday the 16th – just flat, clean water. Some mornings will be glassy (like Saturday the 11th), but there’s no wave to ride. It’s a good time to chill or maybe go for a swim.
On Friday, July 17th, the morning looks a bit more promising with a 2ft S swell and a light E cross-offshore breeze, but the period is a short 4 seconds and the combined energy is only 7. It’s clean, but it’s not going to stand you up. The same goes for the morning of Saturday, July 18th – glassy conditions with a 1ft SSW swell, but again, the energy is weak (5).
The real kicker comes on Friday, July 24th. A 5ft S swell rolls in with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 181 (moderate wave energy), so there’s finally some push. But the wind is a messy cross-onshore from the WSW at 12 mph, and the conditions are described as choppy. That swell is too big for beginners and, with the wind, it’s going to be a lumpy, bumpy mess. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 4ft, still onshore. This setup at a beach-and-reef break with strong cross-onshore wind looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best you’ll get is a clean, flat morning or a choppy, mediocre day. The forecast is poor, and the consistency is weak. It’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area. Hang tight, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t force it.
Rusty.

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