The Lowdown
Alright, let’s cut through it. Appelviken is the only break in town, a beach and reef spot that normally turns up waves, but this 16-day run is a rough one. There are big gaps with nothing on offer, and when there’s some swell, the wind spoils it.
Starting out, Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are small – 3 to 4ft from the WSW and W – but with cross-onshore winds and chop, it’s not rideable. Weak energy (65 down to 47). Skip it.
Monday the 27th picks up to 6 to 6ft from the WNW, short period of 6 seconds. Energy ticks into moderate (201 to 258), but those fresh to strong cross-onshore winds make it lumpy and messy. Tuesday the 28th sees 7ft from the WNW, energy up to 338, but again, fresh cross-onshore winds and chop. It’s rough out there – better suited for kite surfing than paddling.
Wednesday the 29th dies – 3ft down to 1ft, energy in the teens. That kicks off a long gap. From Wednesday through to about Friday the 1st of August, it’s basically flat: 1ft to 2ft, periods of 3 to 4 seconds, energy single digits. Saturday the 1st has light, cross-offshore winds so it’s glassy, but there’s no swell – just 2 to 3ft from the WNW. Clean but flat.
The blank run stretches right up until Wednesday the 6th of August. That’s over a week of nothing. Then, on Thursday morning the 6th, there’s a bit of hope: 5ft from the west, period 6 seconds, energy 139 – moderate. The wind is a light easterly, cross-offshore, so it’s clean. This is the only real standout, but it’s just surfable, not good. It’s the best we’ve got, but keep your hopes in check.
After that, Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th goes back to small, choppy, or onshore slop. Swell from 3ft to 5ft, but wind is fresh and messy.
Water temp is about average for the time of year. Bottom line: this is a long, tough stretch. Appelviken can be consistent, but right now it’s not happening. The only window is that Thursday morning, August 6th – clean with moderate energy, but short period. If you go, go early and don’t expect much.

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.
