The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m gonna be straight with you—this is a frustrating outlook for Heavens. The first recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Tuesday the 25th of August, and even then it’s only a marginal call. Before that, from Friday the 21st through Monday the 24th, it’s pretty much a write-off: tiny swell, poor conditions, and cross-shore winds making a mess of things. That’s a solid four-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
Heavens is a very consistent beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the SW swell, and it’s usually a good option when the magic lines up. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
The best of the bunch looks to be Thursday the 3rd of September into Friday the 4th, but you’ve got to be patient. On Thursday morning, the swell ticks up to 3ft from the SSE with a period of 15 seconds, and combined energy hits 686 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s rideable. Thursday afternoon drops to a gentle cross-shore breeze with a 4ft SSE swell, period 16 seconds, and energy of 888 (moderate). Then Friday the 4th of September is the real standout: morning brings a clean, light onshore breeze with a 4ft SSE swell, period 16 seconds, and combined energy of 1104 (strong). That’s the biggest, most energetic swell in the window. The wind is almost glassy, so the waves should be peeling nicely. It’s a solid option for intermediates and up—4ft is fine for most. Friday afternoon holds similar size and energy, but with a light cross-shore, still good.
Saturday the 5th of September morning sees a slightly bigger 5ft SSE swell, period 14 seconds, and energy jumps to 1368 (strong). That’s getting into the territory where it’s more for experienced surfers, especially with a bit of size. The wind is light onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but still interesting.
Given the long gap of poor surf, this is a real test of patience. The 4th and 5th of September are the ones to circle, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts. Crowds are possible at Heavens, so expect a few locals out if it cleans up.

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.
