The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Appelviken.
To be honest, it’s a tough stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day window, the surf just isn't cooperating. The swell is small, the wind is mostly wrong, and the quality is poor. There isn’t a single standout session, and honestly, no real reason to paddle out. We’ve got a solid run of flat or near-flat days starting from the 13th of September right through to the end of the forecast, with barely a ripple.
Let’s walk through it. The first block of the forecast starts on Wednesday, the 2nd of September. We’ve got some swell around, but the wind is a menace. The morning sees a 4ft swell from the WSW, but with a short 5-second period and a fresh onshore breeze, it’s blown out. The wave energy is weak (90). Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The afternoon drops to 2ft, and it’s just as messy.
Thursday the 3rd is no better. A 4ft WNW swell in the morning, but it’s the same story – cross-onshore wind and a short period. The energy is still weak (89). Friday the 4th is a repeat of poor conditions with 4ft waves and onshore wind.
Saturday the 5th brings the biggest swell of the period, at 7ft from the W, but with a 6-second period and a strong cross-onshore breeze blowing at 25 mph. The combined energy is moderate (265), but the wind is making it completely un-surfable. It’s messy and dangerous. This is more of a kitesurfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
The rest of the first week and into the second are all the same: small, wind-affected, and offering nothing of quality. By the 10th of September, we get a brief moment of clean conditions with a light NNW offshore wind on Thursday morning, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the SW with a 4-second period. It’s clean, but there’s no wave to ride.
From the 13th of September onwards, it’s flat. The energy drops to zero. The wind is light and clean on a few days, and by the 15th of September, there’s a glassy morning, but the swell is gone. Absolutely nothing to surf.
So, the honest truth? There’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. The guidance shows a beach-and-reef break that’s fairly consistent, but with this forecast, it just doesn’t come together. It’s a blank run, and that’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep your eyes on the forecast, things can change, but for now, I wouldn’t bother waxing the board.

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.
