The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight about this. Over the next 16 days, Appelviken is in a proper dry spell. Don't expect much.
Right out of the gate, Saturday the 15th is flat, with a tiny 1ft southwest windswell and a brutal cross-onshore wind. The water’s at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there. The next few days are a write-off. A bump of 7ft shows up on Sunday the 16th from the WNW, but it’s wrapped in a fresh cross-onshore that’ll leave it lumpy and blown out. The energy reading hits 309 (moderate), but the quality just isn’t there. Monday through the rest of the week stays small and poor.
Things settle down a bit Friday the 21st morning, with a clean 4ft southwest swell and a light cross-offshore NNW breeze at 6 mph. That’s about the best of a bad bunch – it’ll be rideable and clean, but with combined energy of only 49 (weak), there’s not much push. Still, it’s a window.
From there it’s back to dribble. Monday the 24th afternoon gets glassy – 1ft and dead calm – but it’s basically a lake. There’s a long stretch of tiny, clean conditions right through to the end of the month, but nothing with any size. Tuesday morning the 30th finally shows a fresh offshore breeze (ENE at 19 mph) with 2ft of WNW swell, which looks clean, but again, the swell is too weak to get excited about.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. If you’re desperate, that Friday the 21st morning is your best shot for a clean, small wave. Otherwise, this is a blank run that’s not unusual for the area when the swell window shuts down.
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.
