Table - best surf conditions forecast for Heavens over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a pretty quiet picture ahead. The swell is trying to get going, but it’s fighting dirty wind. The best of what we’ve got is a very marginal window, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
The standout, and honestly the only spot worth paddling out for, is Heavens. This place is a very consistent beginner-friendly break, and it’s exposed to the SW. The water is sitting at a very unusual 72°F, which is a massive 7° warmer than you’d expect for this time of year. You’ll be surfing in a bath.
The first hint of anything rideable comes on Tuesday afternoon, September 8th. We’ve got a small 3ft SSW swell with a long 13-second period, giving the waves a bit of push. The combined swell energy is moderate (370). The wind is a cross-off from the NW at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The score is low, but this is the best you’re going to get in this whole run.
Wednesday morning, September 9th, the swell drops to 2ft, but the period stretches to a very long 16 seconds. The wind goes cross, which is workable. The energy is still moderate (291). It’s small, but the long period could link up some fun little lines if you’re on the right board.
Thursday morning, September 10th, sees a slight bump up to 3ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is 479. The problem is the wind is a light cross-onshore, which will put a tiny bit of texture on the face. It’s still the biggest swell of the window, but the quality is just marginal.
After that, it’s a long, slow grind. From Friday, September 11th, right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, September 23rd, the swell is tiny, mostly 1.0ft to 3ft, and the wind is consistently cross-on or onshore. The combined energy stays weak to moderate (112 to 423). It’s a blank run of poor to marginal conditions. The crowds at Heavens are sometimes an issue, but with this quality, it’ll be empty.
So, if you’re keen, your best bet is that Tuesday afternoon window. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only game in town.
Rusty.

Information about the Heavens Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Heavens provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Heavens can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Heavens 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 (Heavens) 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 Heavens 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.
