The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get you the story on the surf for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the wind just won’t play nice. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. The first real chance of anything even half-decent is a long way off, and even then it’s more of a maybe than a sure thing.
The first few days, from the 4th of August through the 12th, are a write-off. The swell is stuck at 1ft to 2ft, with a weak combined energy of between 87 and 330 units. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which just messes up the little bumps we have. The water temperature is a wild 72°, which is a massive 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath out there, but that doesn't help the waves.
We do see a bit of a pulse on the 7th of August, with the period jumping to 19 seconds for a groundswell from the SSW, and the energy hitting 330 units, but the wind is still cross-onshore, and it’s only 2ft high. It’s just not enough to get excited about.
Things start to look a little more interesting around the 14th of August. The swell picks up to 3ft, and for a few days we get a moderate SSW groundswell with a period of 16 to 19 seconds. The combined energy on the 14th of August afternoon is a proper 564 units, which is the strongest we’ll see. The wind is cross-shore, which is a step up, but it’s a moderate breeze, so it’ll be a bit lumpy.
The best window is likely the 14th of August afternoon through to the 16th of August. The swell stays around 3ft to 3ft, with that long, 16-18 second period groundswell. The wind is cross-shore, which is the best we’re going to get. Heavens is a very consistent, exposed spot that works best with a SW swell, and this is coming from the SSW, so it’s close enough. That said, the swell is small, and Heavens can get crowded sometimes, so you’ll want to be smart about your timing.
The week after that, from the 17th of August, the swell starts to fade back down to 2ft to 3ft. The wind is still cross or cross-onshore, and the energy drops. It’s another quiet period.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a bust. The standout is the 14th of August afternoon through the 16th of August, when we get our best chance at a few clean, long-period groundswell waves at Heavens, but it’s still a small wave. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got.
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.
