Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Hennemans over the next couple of weeks.
First things first, the water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – about 69°, which is noticeable.
Looking at the whole run, I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a pretty lean stretch. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are poor, no real surf to speak of. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th aren’t much better, just marginal conditions with a bit of cross-onshore wind messing things up.
The first sniff of anything half-decent comes on Wednesday the 8th. The morning sees a southwest offshore breeze kicking in, with a 3ft SW groundswell. The energy is moderate (923), but the wind’s clean. It’s light, and the wave comment hints at questionable tide, so it’s not a perfect setup, but it’s the best looking morning in the near-term. The afternoon turns a bit cross-onshore, so the window is tight.
After that, we slip back into a long, frustrating stretch. From Thursday the 9th right through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s a mix of poor and marginal calls. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays small, rarely getting above 3ft. The energy levels drop right off too, with some days down around 248 – that’s weak stuff.
Honestly, there isn’t a true standout session in this whole 16-day window. The morning of Wednesday the 8th is your best bet, but even that’s a marginal call. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent, and it can get a crowd sometimes, so don’t expect a solitary session.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, keep an eye on Wednesday the 8th morning, otherwise, the board stays in the shed for a while. It’s one of those spells.
Rusty.

Information about the Hennemans Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hennemans provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hennemans can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hennemans 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 (Hennemans) 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 Hennemans 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.
