The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks at Heavens aren’t exactly going to have you scrambling for your board. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell on the horizon, and it’s going to take a while for things to get moving properly. The forecast is pretty grim for the immediate future, so we’re looking at a real dry patch for the first several days. That’s the reality of it.
Monday afternoon, we’ve got a small pulse of swell, around 5ft from the SSW with a 12-second period. The energy reading is moderate at 744, but the wind is a cross-shore breeze from the WNW at 9 mph, which is going to mess with the surface a touch. It’s a beginner spot, and it’s very consistent, but honestly, the wave quality is marginal. The water temp is running at 72°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a bit of a standout on its own.
From there, it’s a tough slog. Tuesday morning drops to 3ft and it’s poor. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 3ft swell and a cross-offshore breeze from the NW, but it’s still small and considered marginal. Wednesday and Thursday are more of the same – tiny waves, cross winds, and not much to get excited about. We’re stuck in this pattern of small, short-period slop.
This gap of poor to marginal conditions stretches right through until the middle of next week. It’s a long, flat run. There’s a slight uptick in period around the 16th and 17th of September, with some 18-second groundswell showing, but the height is still only around 2ft. Long period is good, but with that little energy, it’s not doing us any favours. The winds are just light and variable, mostly cross or cross-on. Nothing clicks.
The end of the period, around the 20th of September, brings a touch more consistency, but still, the heights are barely breaking 3ft. The Sunday afternoon of the 21st shows 3ft with a 17-second period, and light cross-shore winds, which is a bit cleaner, but it’s still far from epic.
The one thing that stands out in this whole stretch, if you can call it a standout, is that Monday afternoon, the 7th. It’s the biggest swell we’re going to see, it’s got the most energy, and the water’s weirdly warm. But with that cross-breeze, it’s not going to be perfect. It’s more of a “get wet and practice” kind of day than a “photo on the mantlepiece” day. If you’re a beginner, the small stuff is fine, but there’s nothing here that’s going to challenge anyone with any experience.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, this spot is looking more like a kitesurfing location than a paddle surfing one. Most of the wind is cross or cross-on, and with small waves, it’s all about the pull, not the push. Don't hold your breath for any epic sessions.
So, you might want to find something else to do for the next week or so. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, but as it stands, there is nothing here.
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.
