The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for the breaks we’ve got.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – this is a slow start. The first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some small swell sneaking in, but the conditions are just not cooperating. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 70° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a bit of a head-scratcher.
The first real signs of life don’t show up until the tail end of the first week. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands, a few days of really marginal stuff before we get anything worth paddling out for.
Let’s talk about the standout. The best window looks to be around Thursday, the 4th of September, through to the weekend. The swell is going to build, and the energy is going to get serious. On Thursday morning, the 4th, we’re looking at a south-southwest swell pushing 4ft, with a period of 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is going to be pumping at 1181 (moderate wave energy). The wind is light and cross-on, so it won’t be glassy, but it’ll be surfable. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a bit out there, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the best bet we’ve got.
Heavens itself is a beginner-friendly spot, very consistent, and it takes that south-west swell. With that long period (19 seconds), the waves will have some real shape to them, but keep in mind that long period stuff can sometimes close out on a beach break. It’s a point or reef setup that would really shine here. The crowds are a possibility here, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out.
After that, things settle down again, with a drop in size and more cross-shore winds. The second week looks pretty average, with small, weak swells and not much to get excited about. The Saturday morning after the 4th, we get a bit of a southerly wind, which will mess up the surface.
So, my call: hold out for Thursday, the 4th of September. That’s your best shot. The rest of the window is a bit of a dud. Stay patient.
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.
