Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' over the charts for our local stretch. I gotta be straight with you, it's been a lean spell and it's gonna stay that way for a while.

We're looking at a real quiet couple of weeks, no two ways about it. The first proper chance to even think about paddling out won't really show until Thursday the 4th, and even then, it's a tease. There's a solid chunk of time at the start with barely a ripple, so don't be in a rush.

Let's get into it. The only spot on the radar is Heavens. Come Thursday afternoon the 4th, there's a pulse of south-southwest swell nudging up to about 3ft. The period is a long 17 seconds, so that's proper groundswell energy, but the real issue is the wind. It's coming out of the south-southeast, putting us in a cross-onshore position. The combined energy is starting to build (596), which is something, but the surface is going to have that light cross-onshore bump on it. Not terrible, but not what we'd call clean.

The situation improves a touch into the first weekend. For Saturday morning the 6th and Sunday the 7th, we've got similar 3ft swell from the south-southwest. The wind stays light out of the south and west-southwest, so still cross-onshore, but with that long period (15-16 seconds) and the energy climbing (up to 772 on Sunday morning), there'll be some lumpy, pushy waves out there. It's gonna be a bit of a battle for positioning with that wind, but for the more experienced crew, it's the most interesting window we've got. Water temp is sitting at 73°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – don't even need a spring suit, it's weirdly warm.

Now, if you’re looking for the standout, it might have to be Monday morning the 8th. The wind swings around to a light southwesterly, going offshore for Heavens. The swell is up a notch to 5ft from the south-southwest with a 13-second period. The energy is solid (682). That's the one session where conditions could line up for some clean, lined-up walls. It's still a beginner-friendly size, and with the offshore breeze, it'll be worth the dawn patrol.

Beyond that, the window closes fast. By Tuesday the 9th, the swell drops back under 3ft, and the winds get messy again. There's a long gap from the 11th all the way through the 17th where it's just tiny slop and poor conditions. The last day in the outlook, Thursday the 17th, shows a tiny 1ft pulse from the southwest with a very long 21-second period, but the cross-shore wind is too strong. It's a dead end.

So, bottom line: hold out for dawn on Monday the 8th. That's your one real shot at something clean and fun. Otherwise, it's a dry spell and you might as well save the wax.

Stay salty.
Rusty.
