The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be brutally honest, it’s a quiet stretch. We’ve only got one spot worth getting wet at: Heavens. It’s a very consistent, exposed beginner’s wave that’s usually groomed by a NNE offshore. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. But the problem is, the swell just isn’t cooperating. We’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions with barely a ripple of quality on the horizon.
The first few days are a write-off. From Thursday 13th all the way through the following week, you’re dealing with tiny, weak energy. The combined energy sits in the hundreds – maxing out around 538 (moderate wave energy) – but it’s paired with poor surf conditions. Winds are mostly light breeze, but they’re cross or cross-on, creating ripples and chop.
The only flicker of anything comes on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th, where the swell from the SSW nudges up to 2 ft to 3 ft with a serious long period of 18 to 16 seconds. But here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-on or cross, the combined energy dips out, and the wave comment says it all: “marginal surf forecast.” It’s not happening.
After that, we slide into a real slump. From Sunday 16th right through to Saturday 22nd, the swell drops to 1 ft to 3 ft, the period shortens, and the combined energy plummets. Winds stay awkward. The 23rd of August offers a tiny glimmer with a 1 ft, 19-second groundswell from the SW, but the cross-shore wind kills it. Then another gap follows.
Late in the window, around Monday 24th to Thursday 27th, the waves barely tickle 2 ft to 2 ft. The energy is weak, and the conditions are either cross-on or cross-shore. There’s no standout session here – not even a “maybe.” It’s just a long, flat spell.
So, what’s the call? The 16-day window is basically empty. This is a blank run for the area. It’s the kind of stretch where you check the forecast, sigh, and go do something else. If the swell ever kicks in with a proper SSW pulse and the wind goes light offshore, Heavens could turn on, but that’s a big “if.”

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.
