The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, looking at the next sixteen days for Heavens, we've got a bit of a flat spell to get through. The first week is a write-off with tiny, weak waves and mostly messy wind. Things start to look a little more promising towards the second weekend, but we’re still not talking about anything epic.
For the first several days, from Sunday the 9th right through to Wednesday the 13th, it’s just not worth paddling out. Swell is a tiny 2ft to 2ft from the SSW, and the combined energy is pretty weak (around 200 to 260). It's frustrating, I know, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of what little ripple there is. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
We get a slight pulse around Friday the 14th of August. The swell nudges up to 2ft to 2ft, and the period stretches to 18 seconds from the SSW. That long period suggests a bit more shape, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (379 to 512). The wind tries to play ball, with some light cross-shore breezes. It’s still marginal, but the Saturday morning session on the 15th looks like the best bet of the first half. You’ll get a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with light, cross-shore winds. It’s small, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see for a while. Still, don't expect a crowd, it's mostly a beginner-friendly wave.
Then things drop back off again from Sunday the 16th until Friday the 21st. We're back to tiny surf, 2ft to 2ft, with moderate breezes chopping it up. A quick look at Monday the 24th shows a pulse of longer-period SW swell (18 seconds) pushing the energy up to 414, but the wind is still messy.
Honestly, for the bulk of this forecast, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There are long stretches with no real recommendation. If you are a beginner looking for a gentle, clean wave, that Saturday morning on the 15th is your window, but don't hold your breath. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change, but right now the ocean is having a long nap.
Stay patient,
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.
