The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got the lowdown on the waves ahead. Let's get into it.
Alright, so the horizon is looking pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. We've got a run of small, choppy conditions that are going to test the patience of even the most dedicated. The standout, and really the only window that's worth a look, is a blip at Heavens. This spot is a beginner-friendly, very consistent break, so when it's on, it's a great place to learn. The water is a very unusual 71° at the start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be able to ditch the full suit.
Let's walk through it. The first few days, starting Thursday the 23rd, are a write-off. There's a small 3ft south swell, but the wind is a messy cross-on from the WSW at 9 mph, and the wave energy is in the moderate range at 411. It's just poor out there.
Things don't really improve, but they become less terrible. From Friday the 24th through to the end of the month, the swell stays small, between 2ft and 5ft, mainly from the SW and SSW. The wave energy ramps up into the strong range, hitting 734 on Friday morning from a very long-period 24-second ground swell. That's a big period, which usually means better shape, but at a beach break like Heavens, that kind of long-period energy can often break too straight, so keep that in mind. The winds are light and mostly cross or cross-on, so it's not completely blown out. The forecasts call these conditions "marginal," and to be honest, with those small waves and tricky winds, it's not really a call to action.
Now, the best chance for a surf comes at the very end of this run. On Friday the 31st of July we see the swell nudge up to 5ft from the SSE in the afternoon, with a period of 15 seconds, and the wave energy hits a solid 993. More importantly, the wind switches to a light cross-shore from the W at only 6 mph. That's a glassy, clean window, and the only time the conditions line up for a proper wave. It's still not huge, but for anyone jonesing for a paddle, this is your shot. Just remember, crowds are sometimes a thing here.
After that, the bottom falls out. The first week of August sees the swell collapse to 1ft - 3ft, the period drops off, and the wave energy goes weak, barely cracking 100. The winds keep shifting, but it's all small and choppy. There's a long flat spell from the 2nd of August all the way through the end of the forecast on the 7th, with no real recommendations. For a spot like Heavens, that's a pretty normal blank run.
So, if you're itching, keep your eye on the afternoon of July 31st. Otherwise, it's a long wait.
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.
