Heavens Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, mate, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the surf is pretty lackluster for most of it. The pattern is small, weak, and the wind is rarely your friend. The first real chance of a wave doesn't come until the second week, so you'll be staring at a lot of flat water before then.

Let's start with the only spot we've got on the radar: Heavens. This is a very consistent beginner-friendly break, exposed to the SW. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 71°, which is much warmer than you'd expect for this time of year.

The first few days are a write-off. We're talking about tiny, poor-quality surf with cross-onshore winds. You'll be looking at a 2 ft SSW swell on Friday the 7th, but it's messy and weak (combined swell energy of 302). Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are more of the same; small, marginal, and not worth paddling out for.

The first sign of life doesn't appear until the following week. Friday morning, August 14th, shows a bit more energy in the water (combined swell energy of 382) with a 2 ft SSW swell, but the wind is still cross-on. It's a marginal call. The best of a bad bunch looks like Saturday morning, August 15th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SSW, with a 16-second period. That's a long-period groundswell, which should bring some shape. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might be clean enough. It's still a small wave, but with a combined energy of 500, it's the most powerful we'll see. For a beginner break, this is the standout window, but it's not exactly firing. Expect it to be small and a bit soft.

After that, it drops back down again. The rest of the second week stays small, mostly under 3 ft, with the wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore. It's a grim run.

So, the honest truth? There's no epic swell on the cards. The only real highlight is that Saturday morning, August 15th, at Heavens. It's the biggest and cleanest we'll get, but it's still a small day for a beginner spot. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty out.
