The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at what Heavens has got cookin’ for us over the next sixteen days. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch, but there’s a little glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
Right off the bat, Wednesday morning the 5th is a no-go. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the southwest with a long 14-second period, but it’s blown out by a 6 mph onshore breeze. The water temp is sitting at a balmy 72°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal, so it’s much warmer than average for this time of year, but that’s the only nice thing I can say. The combined swell energy is weak (107), and the notes say it all: poor surf conditions.
The whole first week is looking pretty flat and messy. We see weak swells between 1ft and 2ft, swinging between SW and SSW directions, with periods that are all over the place. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy. Thursday and Friday bring a little more energy (133 and up to 305), but it’s still small and sloppy. It’s not worth paddling out for. For the beginners out there, this is actually a good thing because the swell never gets over 5ft, but the wind makes it a waste of time.
We hit a bit of a dry patch right through the 11th and 12th. There’s a tiny window on Tuesday afternoon the 11th with a 2ft SW swell and a very long 18-second period, but it’s barely a whisper. The energy is moderate (266), but the “marginal” call keeps us on the beach.
Now, fast forward to the second week. Starting Friday the 14th, things get interesting, but it’s still not a slam dunk. That morning, we’ve got a 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and the energy jumps up to a solid 416. The wind is a light onshore, which isn't ideal, but it’s small. By the afternoon, the swell bumps up to 2ft from the same direction, and the energy rockets to 538. The wind swings cross-shore from the west at 9 mph. It’s a “marginal” call, but *this* is the best the window has to offer. A long-period groundswell from the SSW will wrap in nicely – just remember that period over 15 seconds means the sets will be clean and powerful, but could break a bit straight at a beach break. Since there's only one break here (Heavens), I’ll be watching the tide. The energy is solid (538), and it’s about as good as we’re going to get.
Saturday the 15th holds onto that energy (501, 520) with 3ft SSW swell and decent 16-second periods, but the wind gets gusty from the WNW, putting a bit of a chop on the surface. The rest of the second week pretty much settles into a pattern of 2ft to 3ft SSW swell with moderate energy (300s) and light to moderate cross-shore or onshore winds. It’s a frustratingly long stretch with no clean, rippable conditions.
Honestly, given the persistent poor conditions and onshore flow, this setup at Heavens is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during the afternoons.
So, if you’re dying for a wave, your best bet is Friday afternoon, August 14th. It’s not perfect, but it’s the one standout in a sea of mediocrity. Keep an eye on the wind, hope it holds true, and you might snag a couple of clean lines.
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.
