The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up here at Heavens. It’s a very consistent, exposed beginner spot that usually likes a solid SW groundswell, but for the next week or so, it’s going to be a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for.
Right now, into Friday the 14th, we’ve got a small 2ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a super long 18-second period. Sounds good on paper, but the cross-on wind out of the west at 9 mph is messing it up, making it choppy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 509, but the conditions are just poor. The water temp is a whopping 72°F, which is over 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see the swell bumping up just a touch to 3-3ft, still from the SSW with a 16-second period. But the wind is all over the place—cross, cross-on, onshore. It’s going to be marginal at best, with a lot of chop and wind ripples. The energy stays moderate, between 303 and 504, but don’t get your hopes up. The best of a bad lot might be Saturday morning with an onshore wind, but it’s still only a 1 out of 10 scenario.
From Monday the 17th through to the end of the first week, the bottom drops out. Swell drops to 1-2ft, with that period shortening to 13-15 seconds. The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy readings (127 to 232) are weak. This stretch is essentially flat and poor. Not worth a look.
Now, the long range is where things get interesting, but you gotta be patient. Around Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th, a proper pulse of SSW-S swell arrives. Heights jump to 5-5ft with a period around 14-16 seconds. That’s right in the beginner zone but getting a bit big for the real groms. The combined energy rockets up to over 1000 (1069 on Tuesday morning, 1293 Tuesday afternoon)—that’s strong wave energy. But here’s the catch: the wind is still cross-on or light and variable. Tuesday afternoon looks like the standout with a light cross-shore and some clouds, giving it a 3 out of 10.
This longer-period groundswell, over 15 seconds, is great for the reef and point breaks, but Heavens is exposed, so it might feel a bit straight and fat. Still, if the wind plays nice and stays light, that Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday could be the only real surfable windows in the whole 16-day stretch. The water will still be way warmer than normal.
So, the best advice? Sit tight for that ramp-up around August 25th and 26th. Everything before that is pretty grim. The consistency here is usually solid, so this dry spell feels a bit unusual, but the forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
