The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s lining up.
We’re looking at Heavens. It’s a beginner-friendly, very consistent spot that’s exposed to the SW swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild to report there.
Honestly, the next few days are pretty lackluster. We’ve got a run of marginal to poor conditions from Monday the 31st right through to Saturday the 5th of September. Swell heights are tiny, mostly around 2ft to 3ft, with light cross or onshore breezes messing things up. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with readings between 193 and 963 – not worth paddling out for much. Monday the 31st has some 2ft S swell (14s period) with a light cross-onshore, but it’s slim pickings.
The real standout comes on Sunday, the 6th of September. This is a gem. We’ve got a 5ft to 5ft South swell running with a 15-second period – that’s proper long-period groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 1272–1383, which is strong. And the wind? Glassy in the morning, turning cross-offshore in the afternoon. That means clean, lined-up waves. At 5ft, this is getting a bit strong for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the best window in the whole forecast. The long period means it’ll hold up nicely here at Heavens, a spot that’s exposed and consistent.
Then Monday the 7th gets blown out by strong winds – near gale cross-shore in the morning (37 mph) and fresh cross-onshore with heavy rain in the afternoon, with 6ft to 7ft lumpy swell. That’s a full skip day.
After that, Tuesday the 8th through to the end of the outlook drops right off. Swell sizes shrink back to 1.0ft to 4ft, the energy fades, and it’s mostly poor or marginal with cross-shore winds. There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile from the 8th right through to the 15th. Midweek the 8th has a 6ft S swell on Tuesday morning with light cross-shore wind, but it’s shorter period (10s) and the energy’s only moderate, so it’s not the same quality.
So, to keep it simple: If you want a wave, aim for Sunday the 6th of September. That’s your one true standout. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
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.
