Table - best surf conditions forecast for Appelviken over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, let’s talk Appelviken.
It’s gonna be a frustrating few weeks ahead. We’re looking at a real quiet patch starting now, all the way through to around the 19th of July. There’s just nothing happening – tiny waves that won’t hold you up. The water is about 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first bit of a bump shows up on the morning of July 20th. A west swell brings waves around 4ft with a period of 5 seconds. The energy is still weak (91), and we’ve got a messy cross-onshore wind from the west at 12 mph, so it’s going to be choppy and lumpy.
July 22nd morning pushes a bit bigger, with the swell hitting 5ft from the west, period of 5 seconds. The energy is moderate now (138), but that west wind is blowing 16 mph onshore, making it rough. This is getting too big for beginners and the chop is nasty. Between the wind and the beach-and-reef setup, this one’s looking better for kite boarders than us.
Everything after that drops back to little waist-high stuff with onshore breezes. The morning of the 26th is clean with a light east wind and a tiny 1ft northwesterly swell, but it’s just too small.
Honestly, there’s no red-letter day here at all. The 22nd morning has the most push, but the wind kills it. You might as well save the wax and wait for something better to show up on the charts. Forecasts can turn, but this is a rough run.

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.
