Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Appelviken over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight up with ya, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worthwhile, and even when we see a pulse of energy, the conditions are gonna fight ya every step of the way.
We kick off Monday the 6th of July with a bumpy, lumpy mess. A WNW swell pushes in at 6ft but with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and a strong cross-onshore wind howling at 22 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 239, but with that wind, it’ll be a washing machine out there. Not for beginners, and really not a good time for anyone.
The rest of that first week is a write-off. Tuesday the 7th throws up some similar sized swell but again with strong, messy cross-onshore winds. Wednesday and Thursday drop off into tiny, weak dribble. Friday the 10th through to Sunday the 19th of July are flat as a pancake – a solid 9-day gap with zero surf on offer. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than average for the time of year, but you won’t be feeling it from the beach.
Now, there’s a flicker of hope right at the end of the period. On Monday the 20th of July, we finally see something. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the west with a weak 5-second period, but the wind goes light offshore from the ESE, cleaning it right up. The combined energy bumps up to 120 (moderate). It’s surfable but still very ordinary. That afternoon, the swell builds to 6ft from the WNW with a bit more energy (224), but it goes onshore from the SW, killing the shape. This window is a long way out, so treat it as a promising but uncertain chance.
The whole period is a bit of a tough watch, to be honest. For a beginner, the only time it’s even remotely manageable would be that Monday the 20th morning, but it’s not great. For everyone else, it’s a waiting game. The setup here is exposed and gets chewed up by even a moderate breeze, which is mostly what we see. If you’re into kite surfing, those windy, choppy days might look more interesting than a paddle.
Keep an eye on that Monday the 20th. That’s your best, and maybe only, shot.
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.
