Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, I gotta be straight with ya – it's a pretty quiet stretch. We've got a solid run of small, clean-ish conditions, but don't expect any fire. The only real action on the board is at Heavens, and it's a persistent, low-energy affair.

The first real glimpse of anything rideable comes on Wednesday the 29th. Heavens is the only game in town. We're lookin' at a small, long-period groundswell from the SSW, about 3ft with a 16-second period. The wind is a bit of a mixed bag, with a cross-onshore breeze in the morning making it a touch choppy, but it eases to a light cross-onshore in the afternoon. The combined energy is moderate (868), but it's a tough sell. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

The pattern keeps rolling through the end of July and into August. The swell sticks around the 2ft to 4ft mark, mostly from the SSW and S. The wind does get a bit better on Thursday the 30th afternoon with a decent cross-shore breeze, but it’s still only 4ft. The best call for the whole period is probably the morning of Friday the 31st, with a light cross-onshore and a 3ft, 15-second swell from the SSW. It's not big, but it's the most consistent window we've got.

From the 1st of August onward, the swell just drops away. It's all 2ft to 2ft for the next week, with a combined energy that barely hits triple digits. The wind is often light, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. There's a slight uptick around the 7th of August, with a 2ft, 19-second groundswell, but the period is so long it'll be breaking straight and the wind is a howling cross-shore. Not worth paddling out for.

The best of the bunch is the morning of Friday the 31st. Heavens will see a clean 3ft, 15-second SSW groundswell with light offshore winds. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and it's very consistent, so you'll get waves, but expect some company as crowds are sometimes an issue. It's not a day for the big boards, but it's the closest we get to a decent session. Later in the run, the 12th of August sees a 3ft, 16-second SW swell with a cross-onshore breeze, but it's still small.

Honestly, after the first week of August, it's a real dry spell. There's a long gap of about 5 days with no real recommendations. The swell stays tiny, and the wind is often messy. The 12th of August morning offers a glimmer, but it's a long way out and the swell is still marginal. Keep the expectations low, and the beer cold.

Rusty.
