Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for the exposed, consistent Heavens.

Honestly, it’s a pretty slow and tricky run ahead. The swell is coming from the southwest, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but the heights are generally small. We’re looking at a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions with a lot of cross-shore and cross-onshore wind messing things up.

The first real shot at something clean doesn’t come until Wednesday the 2nd of September. That morning, we’ve got a light offshore breeze from the SSW with the wind going glassy. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SSW, but that super long 13-second period and the combined energy of 283 (moderate) means there might be some little waist-high lines with good shape for a confident beginner on a longboard. The water is a very unusual 71°F at the start of the period, so it’s much warmer than you’d expect.

After that, the rest of the first week and into the second week is pretty uninspiring. The swells stay small, around the 2 ft to 3 ft mark, and the wind just won’t cooperate cleanly. There’s a morning on the 4th of September with a 3 ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, offering a moderate combined energy of 524, but that’s onshore wind. The 5th of September through to the 9th looks mostly poor, with light onshore breezes or cross-onshore winds just putting a chop on everything. The energy drops right off into the 100s by the 7th, so that’s very weak.

If you’re dying for a paddle, that Wednesday morning the 2nd of September is probably your only real standout, but keep your expectations low. For the rest, it’s a lot of waiting. The beach and reef setup at Heavens with these small, weak, and often choppy conditions might honestly be more fun for a kite than a paddle. The long range into the second week looks promising in terms of swell direction but the poor wind calls keep it from being anything to get excited about.

Rusty.
