The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the outlook for Appelviken.
To be honest, the first two weeks are a real bust. From Sunday, August 30th through Friday, September 11th, you’re looking at a long stretch of nothing good. It’s all onshore and cross-onshore winds, choppy water, and tiny, weak swells that barely have any push. The wave energy is low, mostly in the single or low double digits. There are a couple of days around September 2nd and 4th where the swell picks up a bit, but the wind is gusty and lumpy – not the kind of conditions you want to paddle into.
The first real chance to get wet is Saturday, September 12th in the morning. We get a 5ft swell from the SSW with a light offshore breeze, making things clean. The energy is moderate at 133. It’s not epic, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s a welcome change.
The best session of the whole outlook is Sunday, September 13th in the morning. The swell holds at 5ft from the SSW, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE. That’s clean, lined-up conditions. The energy is the highest we see, at 160. This is the one to mark on your calendar.
After that, Monday the 14th of September brings a bigger 6ft swell from the WSW, but with a fresh onshore wind, it’ll be lumpy and messy – better for kites. Water temp is a touch warmer than average for the season at 64°F.
So, hold out for that early session on Sunday the 13th of September. It’s the clear winner in a pretty flat month.
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.
