Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Heavens has in store for the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a mixed bag. There’s swell on the charts, but the wind’s gonna be a pain in the neck most days.

The big theme for the whole run is a long-period SSW groundswell, with some pulses coming in at a very long 16 to 20 seconds. That’s got proper energy behind it, but those long lines can be a bit fat and close out on a beach break. Water temp is sitting about where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We start off Monday, July 6th, with a small 0.7m SSW swell, but the wind is a light cross-onshore. The combined energy is weak, only 425. It’s marginal at best. Tuesday the 7th morning looks similar: a 0.9m SSW swell at 18 seconds, but that cross-on wind is still hanging around (energy 530). It’s surfable, but not clean. The afternoons are worse with a cross-shore breeze chopping it all up.

Now, Thursday the 9th morning is a little glimmer. We get an offshore wind from the S with that 0.9m SSW swell at 16 seconds (energy 447). Offshore wind means glassy, clean waves. That is the standout window for the first week, so if you can sneak out then, that’s your call. After that, it’s back to onshore and cross-onshore winds with the same ankle-to-knee-high swell, keeping it bumpy.

Heading into the second week, the swell drops off to 0.4m to 0.7m from the SW. On Saturday, July 18th, we see a 0.6m SW swell at 17 seconds, and the wind goes cross-off from the NW in the afternoon (energy 226). That’s clean, but it’s tiny.

Looking at the tail end, Sunday, July 19th afternoon sees a jump in energy to 637, with a 0.9m SSE swell and light onshore wind. Still not perfect, but there’s some grunt there. The real standout of the whole period might be Monday, July 20th afternoon: a 0.8m S swell, a very long 15-second period, and light cross-onshore wind. The combined energy hits a moderate 716. It’s the most juice we see with the least wind mess.

So here’s the deal: This is for the locals who know their bank. The swell is consistent but small, and the wind is the limiting factor. The two best bets are Thursday morning the 9th for clean, tiny waves, and maybe Monday afternoon the 20th for a little more push. Don't expect a classic day, but there are waves to be had if you hunt.

Rusty, signing off.
