The Lowdown
Alright, my friends, Rusty here. I’m gonna level with you—this 16-day outlook is a tough pill to swallow. We’ve got a long stretch of small, messy surf, and the good stuff is barely a whisper.
For the first 11 days, from Wednesday, August 12th, through to Tuesday, August 20th, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The only spot in the game is Heavens, a beginner-friendly, very consistent break that likes a southwest swell. The water’s about average for the time of year.
The waves are tiny, from about 1 to 2 feet, and the wind is mostly cross-on or cross-shore, churning the surface into a mess. The combined swell energy is weak, reading in the low hundreds, like 196 or 264. It’s the kind of slop that tells you to stay on the beach.
Things perk up a bit on the morning of Friday, August 23rd. The swell period jumps to 19 seconds—that’s very long period groundswell, which is a serious positive. The wave height is still piddly at 1 feet, but the energy lifts to 206. The wind is light from the SSW, which is offshore for Heavens, giving us a shot at some glassy, clean conditions. This is the best it’s gonna get. Keep in mind, a long period swell on a beach break can run a bit fast and straight, so it’s one for the log or a big fish. You’ll likely have the place to yourself, as crowds are only possible.
The afternoon of Friday, August 23rd, stays marginal with a 1-foot south-west swell, a 18-second period, and energy at 259, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s not as clean.
After that, it’s a slow fade to the end. The morning of Saturday, August 24th, is flat with a 1-foot swell and only 129 energy. The rest of the window through to Thursday, August 27th, bounces between 1 and 2 feet with poor surf and cross-shore winds. The energy stays in the low 100s and 200s.
So, here’s the takeaway: The only real standout is the morning of Friday, August 23rd, at Heavens. It’s the cleanest, most promising window with that sweet, long period swell and offshore air. For the rest of the run, it’s a flat, frustrating spell. This is normal for the area when the swell drops out, but don’t lose hope—forecasts can change.
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.
