The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Heavens over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, the next couple of days are a bit of a write-off. Don’t bother paddling out just yet. The surf is small and messy, with a cross-onshore wind and weak energy readings. The first real chance to get wet won’t come until Friday morning, July 24th. That’s when we see a bit of a pulse start to build. The swell is coming from the south at 4ft, with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (1063). It’s still a bit of a gamble with a cross-on wind, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far.
The standout for the whole outlook is Tuesday, August 4th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid SSE swell pushing through, reaching 5ft to 5ft, with a period of 16 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which means proper energy and shape. The combined energy is strong (1252), and with light winds on Tuesday afternoon, it’ll be clean. The wind is light and cross-shore, so expect some nice, lined-up waves. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 70°F, which is a solid 7°F above average – that’s pretty unusual.
Monday morning, July 27th also looks promising. The swell is SSW at 3ft, but with a 18-second period. That’s a very long-period groundswell, so it’ll have plenty of punch and groom the waves nicely. The wind is offshore from the SW, keeping the faces clean. The energy is moderate (659). Given the long period, Heavens might hold it well, but just keep in mind that these long-period south swells can sometimes be a bit straight at beach breaks, but with the right bank, it’ll be sweet.
The first week is mostly small, with marginal conditions and light winds keeping things “okay” but not great. The second week shows a few pulses, but nothing that screams “drop everything.” Friday, July 31st afternoon has a 5ft SSE swell with a 14-second period, and moderate energy (1063), but it’s cross-shore wind, so it’ll be a bit grovelly. The very end of the run, around August 3rd and 4th, is where the real energy kicks back in, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
It’s a slow start, but the forecast is building towards a proper session around the 4th of August. Hang in there.
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.
