The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks for Heavens.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow, frustrating stretch. The overall pattern is one of small, weak swell with a lot of cross or cross-onshore breeze, leaving the surf pretty grotty for most of the period. The water is a real standout though – it's sitting at 72°F, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a super rare treat, almost like stepping into a bath, so at least the wait will be comfortable.
We start on Saturday the 15th of August. There's a pulse of long-period groundswell pushing in from the SSW, 3ft at 16 seconds, but the wind is a cross-shore from the WNW at 9 mph. The energy is moderate, but the forecasters are calling it marginal at best. It's not going to be pretty. The break is very consistent, so it will be breaking, but the quality is poor with that cross-chop.
Sunday the 16th is much the same story – a touch smaller and still cross-on. The whole first week looks like a write-off. We're looking at days of 3ft, 2ft, even dropping to 1ft by the 22nd, with the wind staying stubbornly cross or cross-on. A few mornings have a light onshore breeze, but the swell is too small and weak to get excited about.
There's a real gap from the 21st through to the 27th where the swell drops out almost completely. The energy is weak, and the conditions are consistently described as "poor." This is a blank run for surfing, no doubt about it.
The best bet on offer is the very end of the window. Look at the 28th of August. That Friday morning, we see a bump in the swell back to 3ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The energy ticks up. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the south at 6 mph, and the forecasters give it a touch more credibility. It's still not a world-beater, but compared to the rest of the run, it's the only time the ocean looks like it might offer a few fun, cleanish lines. The afternoon of the 28th actually sees the biggest energy reading of the whole forecast, but that comes with a stronger 12 mph cross-shore breeze, which will chop it up.
The 29th of August morning is also worth a mention. The swell holds at 3ft, 15 seconds, with good energy and a light cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph. This is probably the cleanest window of the entire 16 days, but it's two weeks away, so take that with a grain of salt. It's promising, but not a sure thing.
Because the swell is so small and the wind is a problem, and this is an exposed beach or reef setup, honestly, the conditions look more suited for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period. The crowds are only "sometimes" an issue here, and with this quality, you won't have to worry about company.
Just a heads-up, this spot is exposed to the swell, so it picks up everything, but with this persistent wind, it's just not working.
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.
