The Lowdown
Gap at the start, mate. Nothing but tiny dribblers and cross-shore junk for the first few days. The water’s a balmy 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real treat when you’re sitting out there.
First real surf shows up on the morning of the 16th. Heavens (Big Island) gets a pulse of SW groundswell at 2ft with an 18-second period. The energy reading hits 326, so there’s some push behind it, but it’s still marginal – tide’s gonna be the judge. Light SSE cross-on breeze keeps it a bit bumpy. Not great, but it’s something to wet the wetsuit for.
The 17th and 18th keep things ticking over with similar 2ft SW swells, periods dropping to 15-16 seconds. Still cross-on winds and marginal conditions. The energy builds though – 369 on the 17th morning. Just not enough size to get the heart racing.
Here’s where it starts to get interesting. The 21st is the standout of this whole run. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the SW, still a solid 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 402 in the morning and 495 by the afternoon. That’s the most juice we see all forecast. The morning has light W cross-on winds, but the afternoon goes cross-shore with a gentle breeze – chop will be there, but it’s the cleanest, most powerful swell of the period. Heavens is very consistent, but with that exposed SW exposure and the long period, it’s a proper groundswell setup. Good news is it’s a beginner-friendly break, and at 3ft it’s well within comfort zone, though the long 17s period might make it break a bit straight at times. Crowds are sometimes – so you might have company, but it won’t be a zoo.
After that, the 22nd and 23rd fade back to 2ft to 3ft but the winds get messier – cross-on and onshore, chop picking up. The energy drops back to the 250-340 range. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
The last few days, from the 24th through the 26th, just fade away. Swell drops to 2ft, periods shorten to 12-14 seconds, and the energy falls below 200. All of it is either cross-on or onshore winds – it’s a flat, weak finish. The 26th has some cross-shore breeze but at 2ft and a 12-second period, it’s barely a ripple.
So, bottom line: if you want a wave this fortnight, circle the 21st. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best of a pretty average bunch. Early morning on the 21st is your call – that 402 energy with the light cross-on is the pick. Everything else is a grovel or a wait.

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.
