The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for our stretch of coast. We've got a run of small, weak swells and a lot of onshore wind, so you're gonna have to be patient.
We are starting off with nothing rideable. From the 8th through to the 18th, it's a whole lot of nothing. There are a few pulses of knee-high slop, but the wind is mostly on or cross-shore, and the periods are real short, under 6 seconds. The energy is weak, mostly under 100. Combined swell energy values of 58, 78, and 64 on the 9th, 12th, and 16th are about as good as it gets, and that’s not saying much. It’s a solid 11-day gap with no real surf on offer.
Then, just when you might be ready to give up, Saturday the 19th morning comes in with a bit of a pulse. We finally get a real swell, a 10ft W/NW groundswell pushing in with a 7-second period. The energy jumps to 782, which is a strong reading for us. But hold your horses. That morning window is the one to be in. The wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s the standout if you're an expert, because at 10ft and a period of 7 seconds, that's a lot of raw, powerful water. It's going to be heavy, and it's going to be too big and mean for beginners. This is strictly for the experienced crew at Appelviken. That morning is the best we get in the whole window.
But you have to be quick. By the afternoon that same day, the wind swings around to the west, and it’s going to get chopped up quick. It drops to 8ft but the cross-onshore wind will turn it into a mess.
After that, we're back to square one. The 20th sees it fade to almost nothing, and the following days from the 21st onward have no swell showing at all in the data. So, that's it. The one bright spot is the morning of the 19th. Circle it on your calendar, but be ready for a washing machine. It’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not set in stone.
The water temp is about 63°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, so a thin suit might do on that one morning.
Alright, that's the picture. Get your patience hats on, and I'll see you out there on the 19th.
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.
