The Lowdown
Right, so, the first few weeks look pretty grim around here. Honestly, there's a whole lot of nothing on offer from now through most of the month. We've got a run of poor conditions that just won't quit. From Tuesday the 15th right the way through to the end of September, it's a proper dry spell. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, just making a mess of things. You're looking at weak energy levels, often under 100, and a lot of chop. It’s not looking good for a paddle. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than for us.
Then, finally, a flicker of hope. On Monday the 28th of September, we get a pulse of proper energy. Ter Heijde is exposed to NW, and this is a WSW swell coming in at 7 ft to 8 ft with a solid 7 to 8-second period. The combined energy rockets up – we're talking 448 to 822 – which is strong to very strong. The wind is light and offshore from the SE and SSE, so it’ll be clean. This is for the crew that knows what they're doing, though; at that size, it's only for advanced surfers. The jetty might offer a bit of shape. Water temp is at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for September – a nice bonus.
That Monday afternoon (28th) is the standout. By Tuesday the 29th, the wind swings and the quality drops back into the marginal zone, so don't dawdle. You get your one day, maybe two if you're lucky, and that's your lot. Long-range promise, but don't count on it.

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 Ter Heijde 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.
