Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down for you in feet and Fahrenheit.

Right now, we're in a flat spell. Nothing really happening. The start of the period is a bit of a write-off, with only small, weak swell and wonky wind. You're looking at a few days of marginal conditions, with wave heights hovering around 1.6ft to 2.3ft. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, but it's not clean enough to get excited about. The water is absolutely roasting, coming in at 73.9°F which is far warmer than normal for this time of year.

Things start to look a touch better heading into the first weekend of September. On Saturday the 5th, we get a little pulse of S/SW swell, with heights around 3ft, and the energy starts to build. It's still not perfect, but it's a sign of life.

Now, the standout window is really Sunday the 6th through to Tuesday the 8th of September. This is the best swell of the whole forecast. It kicks off Sunday afternoon with a solid 5.2ft S swell, period at 15 seconds, and light offshore winds from the NE. That's a recipe for clean, fun waves. The combined energy is solid. This is a long-period groundswell, so it'll have some punch, but it might get a bit straight at the beach. For a beginner spot like Heavens, it's starting to push into the "too big" zone for beginners at 5.2ft, and definitely for the experts on Monday.

Monday the 7th is the pick of the bunch. You've got a clean 6.6ft S swell, with a 15-second period, and consistent offshore winds from the NNE. The energy is strong and the conditions are described as "excellent for experienced surfers." This is solid, powerful surf. The offshore wind will keep it glassy, so if you've got the skills, that Monday morning session is the one to aim for. The 6.6ft swell is definitely in expert-only territory.

Tuesday the 8th still has some good energy, with 7.2ft swell and light offshore winds, but the swell period drops a bit. It's still a good option, but Monday is the real standout.

After that, the swell backs right off. From Wednesday the 9th onward, it's a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The swell shrinks down to 2.3ft and below, and the wind is messy. The combined energy drops, and for over a week, from the 9th to the 15th, it's just not worth paddling out. There's a big gap of no-good surf right through the second week.

So, in short: it's a slow start, a solid swell window from the 6th to the 8th, with Monday the 7th being the absolute best day for the experienced crew, and then a long flat spell to finish.
