The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Heavens.
Overall, we’ve got a long, drawn-out pattern of small, clean-ish swell on the cards. There’s no proper stand-out session here, but a few windows where the conditions will at least be rideable for the beginner crew. The first run of proper surf doesn’t really kick off until mid-week next week, so there’s a bit of a gap of nothing special before that.
Right now, through to the end of next week, it’s a story of small 1 ft to 2 ft SW groundswell. The period is long—16 to 19 seconds—which means there’s some energy in the water but the sets will be widely spaced. The total wave energy (combined energy of all swells directed here) is mostly in the mid hundreds (140 to 444), so moderate energy levels. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The wind is mostly light cross-onshore, so there’ll be a bit of texture on the surface. Not great, not terrible.
As we move into the second week, around the 21st of September, the swell nudges up slightly to 3 ft, still from the SW, but the period starts dropping into the 13-15 second range. The winds stay light and variable, often cross-onshore or even onshore, but it’s still small, marginal stuff. It’s not likely to be worth a special trip.
If I had to pick the only session worth a second look, it’d be Sunday the 20th of September. The morning has 2 ft SW swell at 18 seconds, with glass-like, almost flat calm wind (SW 3 mph). That’s about as clean as it gets for a tiny day. The energy’s moderate (309 combined energy), and because it’s super clean, what little comes through will be smooth. It’s a beginner spot, so it’s perfect for learning to catch those long-period rollers. But don’t expect power—it’ll be a gentle session.
For the rest of the 16 days, it’s the same small story. There isn't enough size or clean wind to make anything stand out as truly good. It’s a waiting game.
Stay safe, keep your eyes on the horizon, and don't be afraid of the flat spells—they never last.
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.
