North wall Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Northwall’s your spot, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The water temp’s sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We start off with a little window of good surf. Wednesday morning the 12th is clean, with a light offshore breeze from the WSW, 3 ft of swell from the S at 11 seconds. It’s not huge, but it’s tidy and the combined energy is moderate (279). Good for a beginner-friendly session. Wednesday afternoon stays clean with a cross-off NW breeze, 3 ft of S swell, and energy at 231. Still nice.

Thursday morning the 13th drops off a bit – 2 ft E swell, 9 seconds, offshore breeze, but the energy’s weaker (162). It’s surfable but ordinary. Thursday afternoon goes downhill with a cross-shore SE wind at 12 mph, 4 ft S swell, 8 seconds, and messy conditions. Poor.

Friday the 14th has a bit more size – 6 ft S swell Friday morning, but it’s short period at 8 seconds, and the wind’s cross-off. Combined energy jumps to 796, but it’s marginal. Afternoon stays similar, 5 ft, same short period, energy at 397. Not great.

From Saturday the 15th through Tuesday the 19th, it’s pretty rough. Strong cross-off and cross-shore winds, short period swell, and a lot of rain showers and storms in the mix. Swell sizes bounce between 5 ft and 8 ft, but the quality’s poor. The energy gets up there – 1053 on Wednesday the 19th – but it’s messy and cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out for a fun wave.

Then we hit the standout. Thursday morning the 20th: 8 ft of E swell, 10 seconds, clean with a light S breeze. Combined energy is strong at 1269. This is for experienced surfers only – it’s solid, powerful, and glassy. The wave direction is good for the exposed SE-facing setup. This is the best on offer.

Friday the 21st morning is still good: 7 ft E swell, 10 seconds, light offshore breeze, energy 775. Clean and fun for stronger surfers. Saturday the 22nd morning is glassy – no wind, 7 ft E swell, 11 seconds, energy 1222. That’s a long period groundswell, so it’ll be well-shaped, with longer waits between sets. Another top call for the experienced crew.

After that, the surf drops back. Sunday the 23rd morning has 5 ft E swell, 11 seconds, but cross-shore wind. By afternoon it’s choppy. Monday the 24th is poor in the morning, but the afternoon picks up with a cross-off WNW breeze, 5 ft E swell, 8 seconds, energy 447 – clean and rideable. Tuesday the 25th morning: 4 ft E swell, 9 seconds, offshore WSW breeze, light and clean. Good for a beginner session.

Wednesday the 26th morning: 4 ft ENE swell, 9 seconds, light offshore, clean. Another small, fun window. The rest of the week gets messy again, and Thursday the 27th morning brings a big, windy 10 ft S swell, 10 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – not for paddling, just for the kite crew.

So, in short, the real standouts are Thursday the 20th and Saturday the 22nd mornings – both solid, clean, and powerful. Get on them if you can handle it.
