Reve Havn Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Reve Havn over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a tough run. The forecast is filled with a lot of strong onshore and cross-onshore wind messing things up, and there are patches of flat or tiny, weak swell. There’s a gap of several days right through the middle of the period where the wind is just too ugly to call it a good surf day, especially from the 16th through the 19th of September. We’re really only getting a couple of windows that look worth paddling out for, so you’ve got to pick your moment.

The first proper standout is Monday, the 14th of September, in the morning. This is your best early call. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a solid 12-second period, giving it some real push. The combined swell energy is moderate at a reading of 464. The wind is glassy – total flat calm. That means the water will be like a mirror, and those waves are going to hold up nicely over the beach and reef. The water temp is 60°, which is running about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not too bad for the wetsuit. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so when the conditions line up, expect a few others with the same idea.

Jumping way ahead to the last part of the forecast, the most promising window lands on Saturday the 26th of September. Both the morning and afternoon sessions look good. We’re looking at a 3ft NW swell, again with that long 12-second groundswell period, and the combined energy is still moderate at about 397. The wind is offshore from the SE – a moderate, clean breeze. That offshore wind will groom the faces nicely at Reve Havn. This is a longer-range call, so keep an eye on it as we get closer, but the signs are there for a clean, fun session on the weekend.

Other than those two windows, you’ve got a lot of days with strong, lumpy winds or just poor surf conditions. That stretch from the 16th to the 19th is a write-off, with fresh to strong breezes and messy cross-onshore chop. For the most part, the swell is either too short in period or the wind is wrong, making for tough paddling out and poor shape. If you’re a kite surfer, those big breezes on the 13th and 18th might look more interesting than standing up.

So, in short: aim for the morning of the 14th for glassy waves, and keep the 26th circled on the calendar for a clean offshore session to end the run. Stay patient.

Rusty.
