Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple weeks are looking pretty tasty for Icelands. This reef setup is exposed to the SSW and it’s fairly consistent, so we’ve got a solid run of groundswell lined up. The first surfable window kicks off Tuesday July 7 morning – bit of a risk of thunderstorms but the wind is glassy, swell a clean 3.6 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. Energy is moderate at 704, and the waves will be glassy clean. That’s a nice start.
Wednesday July 8 morning bumps up to 5.2 ft, same long 15-second period, cross-off wind, and energy jumps to 1209 – strong stuff. That one’s for the experienced crew only, as it’s getting solid. Thursday and Friday hold 4.9 ft with cross-off winds, clean, and energy around 1000–1100. Saturday July 11 morning still has 4.3 ft clean, then it drops a touch Sunday with 3.3 ft and glassy conditions. Monday July 13 morning picks back up to 4.3 ft clean.
Now the standout: Tuesday July 14 morning. Swell is 3.9 ft but the period stretches to 18 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell, and energy is up at 1323

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