Reve Havn Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Reve Havn over the next couple of weeks. It’s the same single spot on offer here, so I’m going to walk you through the whole period.

Honestly, this is a tough stretch. For the first week, we’ve got a persistent run of cross-onshore winds and messy conditions that are just going to kill any chance of a decent wave. Most of the time we’re looking at weak, short-period windswell from the WNW or NW, and the wind is just going to tear it apart. The water's sitting at 57°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

There is a gap of several days with no real surf on offer. From Thursday the 9th all the way through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s just poor surf conditions, all scored at zero. You’ll see some swell size bump up on Saturday the 11th – we get 5ft from the NW (256 combined energy), but with a strong cross-onshore breeze pushing 25 mph, that’s going to be a total war zone out there. That kind of setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Now, the only glimmer in this grim outlook comes early on Wednesday, 15th July. The morning shows a 4ft NW swell at 6 seconds (147 combined energy) with the wind going glassy – that means clean, smooth conditions. It’s the one time the file calls the waves “surfable” instead of “poor.” That said, the period is short (6 seconds), so it’s not going to be a powerful groundswell, just a bit of mushy, onshore-ish energy that you can at least sit on. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but when it’s like this, you have to be patient and pick your moments.

Beyond that, it’s right back into cross-onshore slop. There are stronger swells later on, like Saturday 18th, but the wind is up at 22 mph and the swell height is tiny (0.7ft), so you can forget it. The whole second week offers nothing worth paddling out for. With only one break in the data, and that break staying consistently messy, I’d say this is a proper blank run for the area.

Keep your eye on Wednesday the 15th morning. That’s your one chance for a session, and it’s only going to be for the die-hards who don’t mind the weak, short-period stuff. Everything else, you’re better off waxing a kiteboard or just staying on the beach.

Rusty.
