The Lowdown
Right, let's flip it to feet and miles for those who think in the old numbers. Rusty here again, and the news is the same – Appelviken is dead in the water.
From Friday the 31st of July, you're looking at a weak 4ft swell from the WNW, but with a short 5-second period and a cross-onshore wind blowing at 15 mph. It's choppy, it's weak, and it's poor. The combined energy is only 61, which is as weak as it sounds. This crummy pattern sticks around through Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August, with similar sized, short-period slop and onshore winds.
By Monday the 3rd, the swell starts to vanish. Tuesday the 4th brings a tiny 0.7ft, and Wednesday the 5th is completely flat – zero swell, zero hope. For the next week and a half, the numbers barely register. On Friday the 7th, we get a clean 1ft wave with a light offshore breeze, but it's just too small to even think about. The rest of the fortnight is a ghost town for surf.
This is a proper drought. There’s simply nothing to ride. Don't waste the wax.
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.
