The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, it’s a tricky one for Heavens. The water is sitting at 72°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a solid 7° above average, which is very unusual. But don’t get your hopes up just yet.
We’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off. From Saturday the 15th all the way through to Monday the 24th, it's pretty grim. There’s no surf worth paddling out for. The swell is small, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, the winds are cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is weak to moderate (the combined energy sits between 130 and 440). The wave comments say it all: poor surf conditions or marginal at best. This stretch is a total write-off for a decent session.
Now, hang in there, because things start to look a whole lot more interesting as we head into the last week of August. The standout window is Tuesday the 25th through to Thursday the 27th. We’ve got a solid pulse of southern hemisphere groundswell rolling in. On Tuesday the 25th, we see the swell jump to 5 ft from the SSE, and by the afternoon it’s hitting 6 ft from the SSE, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy rockets up to 1672, which is strong wave energy. Wednesday the 26th keeps the size at 6 ft from the S, and Thursday the 27th holds at 6 ft from the S. The wind is mostly light and onshore or cross-onshore, which isn’t ideal for perfection, but it keeps things rideable.
The best of the best? I’d put my money on Wednesday afternoon the 26th. You’ve got 6 ft of swell from the S, with a period of 13 seconds, and light cross-onshore wind at 6 mph. It’s not glassy, but it’s clean enough with the light breeze. The energy is still strong at 1186. This is a classic groundswell, so it’ll be better shaped and more powerful, but remember at a beach break it might go a bit straight. Still, for the size and consistency on offer, this is your best bet.
One thing to keep in mind: once that swell drops off from the 28th onwards, we’re back to smaller, less energetic waves. So if you can, point your board at Heavens on that Wednesday. It’s the clear highlight of the forecast.
Keep an eye on the sky.

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.
