North wall Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks at Northwall. It’s a bit of a slow start, so hang tight.

The first real action kicks off on Monday the 7th of September, with a solid pulse of S swell rolling in. The morning session looks the pick of that day. You're looking at 6 ft of S swell with a 9-second period, and with a cross-off SSW breeze it should be pretty clean. The energy's moderate, sitting at 499, so there’s some push. The afternoon turns choppy, so get out early.

Tuesday the 8th is a bit iffy. You've got 4 ft SSE swell in the morning, clean with a cross-off wind, but it's a marginal call. The afternoon drops right off.

Now, mark your calendar for Wednesday morning, the 9th. This is a real standout. The wind goes glassy, dead calm from the SW at just 3 mph. The swell is 5 ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, giving you a combined energy of 365. The conditions are going to be absolutely pristine. This is the one to aim for this week.

Thursday the 10th is a different story. There's a huge swell coming in – 12 ft from the SSE, with a combined energy of 2170, which is very strong. That's expert-only territory at Northwall. If you’re not seasoned, sit this one out.

Friday the 11th sees the swell backing down, but it's still solid at 8 ft in the morning and 7 ft in the afternoon, with a long 11-second period in the afternoon. It's clean enough with cross-off winds, but it remains marginal. The 12th is similar, with 6 ft to 7 ft SSE swell, but a bit messy.

The next true highlight is the morning of Sunday the 13th. A clean 5 ft SSE swell with light S winds, making for some nice, fun waves.

Then there’s a bit of a lull through the middle of the week, with smaller, weaker swell and onshore winds messing things up. The surf doesn’t really fire again until the morning of Wednesday the 16th. That morning, we get glassy conditions from the ENE and a 3 ft SSE swell with a long 11-second period, giving clean lines.

The real standout for the second week, and possibly the whole run, is the morning of Friday the 18th. We've got a 5 ft S swell, a short 7-second period, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NW, and the combined energy is 547. The forecast is very good.

To round things out, the morning of Saturday the 19th is another beauty. A clean 4 ft S swell with a 10-second period, light W cross-off winds, and combined energy of 573. The afternoon goes glassy with 3 ft S swell. That’s a top-notch weekend morning.

After that, it all fades away into small, weak surf for the rest of the run.

Rusty, signing off.
