The Lowdown

Alright, the surf’s been pretty quiet around here for a while, but I’m starting to see a bit of life stirring in the deep. Let’s break it down.

First up, the water temp at Heavens is sitting at 71°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be in for a surprisingly warm paddle.

The next week or so is pretty flat. The swell energy is weak, with readings between 122 and 334 (moderate energy at best), and the wave heights are hovering around 1ft to 2ft. The winds are mostly cross or cross-on, so the surf is small and messy. Not much to get excited about until later in the period.

The first real standout comes on Wednesday, 26th August. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 639 (moderate). The wind is light and onshore from the south, so it’s clean. The afternoon picks up a bit more size, 4ft from the south with a 14-second period, and energy at 740. That’s the best of the first week, but it’s still only marginal surf.

From Thursday 27th August through Saturday 29th August, the swell builds a bit more. Thursday morning has 5ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and combined energy at 839 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s workable. Friday holds 4ft with similar energy, and Saturday morning has 3ft but with a very long 17-second period. That’s a groundswell, and it’s best for a point or reef break, not a beach break where it might break too straight.

The best bet overall looks like Thursday 27th August morning. The swell is 5ft from the SSW, the wind is a light breeze, and the energy is moderate. It’s still a marginal call, but it’s the pick of the run. The break is Heavens, which is a very consistent beginner spot, exposed to the SW swell, and crowds can show up sometimes. For a beginner, this is the best window.

After that, the swell drops back into the 1ft to 3ft range through the end of August and into early September, with weak energy and poor surf conditions. There’s a possible late pulse on Thursday 3rd September afternoon, with a 4ft swell from the west, but the period is short at 10 seconds, so it’s not a standout.

Overall, the first week is a write-off, but from Wednesday 26th August to Saturday 29th August, there’s a small but clean window. Thursday 27th August morning is the highlight. After that, it goes quiet again.

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.
