The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Heavens. It’s a tough stretch, but let’s be real about it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. The first few days of the outlook are pretty grim. Friday the 17th to Sunday the 19th, the waves are tiny – we’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft from the SW, and the wind is a mess. It’s cross-on or onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’s going to feel like a warm bath out there.
Monday the 20th finally sees a little pulse of energy. The swell starts to build, hitting 3 ft in the morning from the SSW, with a period of 15 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s got some decent energy (787). The wind is light and onshore in the morning, which is okay, but the afternoon gets a bit bigger at 5 ft and goes cross-on. It’s still marginal, but this is the first real sign of life.
The best window of the whole run looks like it’s shaping up for the following weekend. Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th. We’ve got a solid SSW swell rolling in, sitting around 3 ft to 3 ft, but the period is long – 18 to 19 seconds. The energy is strong (over 900 in the combined energy value). The wind is light and cross-on in the mornings, which is as good as it gets here. The waves will be clean, with that long-period energy wrapping in. For a beginner-friendly spot like Heavens, this is the standout. Just be aware that with that long period, it’ll be a bit more lined up and powerful than the usual small stuff.
Into the second week, things start to taper off. Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th still have some waist-high, long-period swell, but the wind gets a bit more cross and the energy drops. The waves are there, but it’s not as clean. By the end of the month and into August, the swell fades back to small, choppy junk. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy is weak.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a write-off. The best surf is on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th of July, when you get a clean, long-period SSW swell and light winds. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s the cleanest it’s going to get. After that, it’s a slow fade into small, windy conditions.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
