The Lowdown
Alright, let’s put it in feet and knots. The whole 16-day window starts off real slow. From August 17th right through to the 28th, it’s basically a ghost town. Swell is barely over 3 ft, with short periods and a constant cross or cross-onshore breeze that’s just ruining any chance of a clean wave. The energy is low, all under 300, so it’s weak and half-hearted. There’s a big gap of nothingness here.
Then, around the 29th of August, we get a proper pulse. Swell jumps to 4 ft from the SSW, with a 18-second period – that’s real groundswell. The combined energy hits 849 (strong), so there’s some grunt. Wind is light and cross-onshore in the morning, but the afternoon gets a moderate cross-shore, which will mess it up a bit. For a beginner spot like Heavens, this is getting big. Anything over 5 ft is too much for beginners, and this is close. The water is 71°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, so it’ll feel like you’re surfing in a warm river.
The 30th of August is similar. Swell holds at 4 ft from the SSW, 16-second period, energy at 783 (still strong). The morning has light onshore, but the afternoon turns to a gentle cross-shore, which is a bit cleaner. Again, this is borderline for Heavens, but if you’re a solid surfer, the morning session on the 30th is your best chance. The swell direction is perfect for the break (SW), and the long period will give it shape, but it might be a bit straight at a beach break.
After that, the 31st drops back to 3 ft, and the 1st of September is back to tiny 2 ft mush. So the standout is the weekend of the 29th and 30th of August. The 29th morning has the highest energy and a very long period, but the 30th morning might be a touch cleaner. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real window of fun in a long, flat spell.

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.
