The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Reve Havn.
To be honest, mate, this 16-day stretch is a proper struggle. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap right from the start. From Tuesday the 18th of August all the way through to Saturday the 22nd, it’s basically a write-off – the wind is howling cross-onshore, the swell is messy, and you’re just not going to get a ride worth paddling for. The energy is all over the shop, with a bit of a spike on the Friday the 21st where the combined energy hits 575 and then 583, but that’s a wild, lumpy, 7ft to 8ft mess with 22 to 25 mph winds. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. Only for the hardcore, and even then it’s not enjoyable.
Then we finally get a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning glass off is the only real highlight in the whole outlook. The swell drops to a modest 4ft from the NW with a period of just 7 seconds – short period, so it’s a bit weak, but the glassy conditions make it feel clean. The combined energy is a moderate 209, so there’s a bit of push, but it’s still only surfable waves with very ordinary conditions overall. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your only real window. After that, we’re back into days of cross-onshore slop, tiny waves, and very poor surf right through to the end of the month.
Now, looking way ahead, the first week of September brings some serious size but absolutely no quality for a paddle surfer. On Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell jumps to a massive 10ft from the SW with a combined energy of 1358 – that’s proper powerful stuff. But the wind is a gale-force 40 mph offshore. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell, and that kind of wind makes paddling out near impossible. It’s clean in the sense that the wind is offshore, but it’s a survival mission. The following days stay big and windy, with the 30th of August also seeing 8ft and 1047 energy, again with near-gale offshore winds. For a beach and reef setup like Reve Havn, that kind of wind and size makes it more of a kite-surfing show than a place to paddle out.
Honestly, if you’re set on a paddle, Sunday the 23rd is your one and only standout. It’s not epic, but it’s the cleanest we get. For the rest of the 16 days, the conditions are just too rough or too small.

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