The Lowdown
Alright, mate. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Heavens. I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a flat spell with a few very small windows of opportunity.
Right now, there’s a little pulse of swell coming in, but it’s pretty gutless. We’re looking at a South-Southwest swell around 3 ft, with a long period of 17 seconds. That kind of period means it’s pure groundswell, which is nice for shape, but at that height, it’s barely going to break. The combined energy is weak (699), and the onshore breeze from the SSE is making it look average at best. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
Saturday the 5th is much the same story – same size, same direction, but with a direct onshore wind from the south in the morning. It’s not great, but that’s about as good as it gets this week.
Heavens is a very consistent beginner spot, but the swell just isn’t there. The wind improves a bit by Sunday the 6th morning, swinging to the ESE at 6 mph, which is a light cross-shore, and the swell bumps up to about 5 ft from the south with a 14-second period. The energy is starting to look moderate at 1022. It’s the best we’ve got, but the wave comment calls it marginal. For a beginner, that 5 ft might be getting a little pushy.
After Sunday, it’s a long slow decline. The swell drops under 3 ft by Wednesday the 9th, and the wind gets messy. From the 12th of September onwards, it’s a dead zone with hardly any swell to speak of. The energy drops to triple-digit weak levels (e.g. 122, 178), and it’s just blown-out junk or flat. Thursday the 17th has a tiny 1 ft pulse but with a massive 22-second period – that’s going to be a long, slow, fat wave if anything.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the early morning on Sunday the 6th for the cleanest conditions and the most push. After that, you’re looking at a solid week-plus of flat, poor conditions. This is one of those quiet runs where you either take the scraps or wait for the next system.
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.
