The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real, folks. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at this forecast for our local spot, Heavens, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough one. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for any decent waves. We’re talkin’ a long stretch of barely-rideable slop, with a few mornings that might just squeak by as "marginal" if you’re desperate.
Right now, the water temp is sittin’ about where you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The outlook starts with a Sunday morning, the 16th of August. We’ve got a long-period groundswell from the SSW bumping 3ft, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, and the energy is weak. The report says "poor surf conditions" and I’m not gonna argue. This pattern sticks around for days. Monday and Tuesday offer more of the same: small 2ft to 3ft swell, with a mix of cross and cross-onshore winds. The energy stays weak. It’s just not happening.
The one faint glimmer comes on the morning of Tuesday, the 18th of August. We’ve got a clean offshore wind from the SSW, but the swell has dropped to a tiny 2ft. The wave energy is still weak. The guidance says "marginal surf forecast," and honestly, that’s the most optimistic thing we’ve got for a while. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but even then, that’s a real struggle.
We then hit a dead zone. From Wednesday the 19th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with tiny wave heights. The energy drops to almost nothing. There’s a gap of several days with no real hope.
Now, lookin’ into the second week, things don’t get much better. There’s a few mornings like Sunday the 23rd of August, with a mellow 2ft SSW swell and a long 16-second period, but the wind is light cross-shore. The energy is paltry. It’s just not enough push. Towards the end of the month, we see a slight uptick. On the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August, we get a glassy offshore wind from the SW. That’s a huge positive for clean conditions. But the swell is still only 2ft, and the energy is weak. The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s the most positive thing I can say for the whole outlook.
The pattern continues right through to the end of the month. The wind gets a little better on a few mornings, but the swell never breaks above 3ft. The standout is tough to pick, but if I had to, I’d point to that Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. The glassy wind will make the most of the tiny, clean swell. For a beginner at Heavens, that’s your best bet, but don’t expect much.
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.
