Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s chat about what’s comin’ up at Heavens over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, it’s a bit of a lean run. The first proper surf worth paddlin’ out for kicks off on Sunday, the 5th of July. We’re lookin’ at small, clean lines rollin’ in from the SSW, about 2ft. The swell’s got some serious grunt for its size though, with a very long 18-second period and moderate wave energy (377). That long period means the waves will be well-shaped, with plenty of push and long lulls between sets—perfect for a beginner-friendly spot like this. Water temp’s about what you’d expect for this time of year. The onshore breeze is light from the SSW, keepin’ the surface glassy.

Now, the standout on offer is Tuesday morning, the 7th of July. Swell ticks up a notch to 3ft from the SSW, still with long 18-second periods and moderate energy (530). The wind is light WSW, a cross-on breeze, but it’s so light it’s barely gonna ruffle the surface. At a consistent, exposed spot like Heavens, that’s about as good as it gets in this stretch. Crowds are “sometimes” a thing here, so you might have a few mates out, but nothin’ crazy.

The rest of that first week is pretty marginal—mornings offer the best chance with light winds, but the afternoons get chopped up by moderate cross-shore breezes. By the 10th of July, it turns poor with stronger cross-onshore winds, and we hit a real dry spell. From Friday the 10th all the way through to Sunday the 19th of July, there’s not a single session worth chasin’. Swell drops away to 1ft–2ft, wind is messy, and the energy is weak (as low as 119). It’s a proper blank run of about ten days.

There’s a flicker of hope right at the tail end. On Monday the 20th of July, the swell bumps back up to 3ft from the SSE with a moderate 13-second period and strong wave energy (546). It’s a morning session with light SSW winds again, so clean conditions. But it’s a long way out, so take that with a grain of salt—forecasts change.

Overall, if you’re keen, hit Tuesday the 7th in the morning. Otherwise, it’s a wait-and-see game.

Rusty.
