Alright, let’s talk in feet and Fahrenheit for the imperial crew. This Appelviken forecast is a tough read, surf-wise. The water is running about 67°, which is a good couple of degrees warmer than usual – a bit of a tropical surprise, but that’s where the good news stops.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. The first week is a write-off. From Friday 3rd through to Wednesday 8th, the wind is all cross or cross-onshore, turning the surface into a lumpy, choppy mess. The wave energy over that first weekend is low (under 100) with short periods. Just weak slop.
Your only real window is Wednesday 8th morning. We’ve got chest-to-head-high swell, about 8ft, from the NNW. The wave energy is moderate at 465, and the wind is cross-offshore from the north, making the faces clean. It’s still a short-period swell at 7 seconds, so it won’t have the grunt of a longer period groundswell and might close out a bit. But it’s the only clean day with any size. It could be too much for beginners, but there will be some waves. It can get a bit crowded here “sometimes.”
After that, it’s all downhill. From the 9th right through to the 18th, we’re looking at flat to nearly flat conditions. The wave energy drops to single or low double digits, and most days the swell is under 2ft. You’ll see a few clean mornings with offshore winds on the 10th and 11th, but there’s no swell to push – the energy is zero. For a spot that is usually fairly consistent, this long of a flat spell is unusual, but the numbers don’t lie. If it were any windier, you’d be looking at a kite session, but for a paddle surfer, just pencil in the 8th morning and hope for a few good ones.

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.
