Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.

First up, we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch for The Wall. The next few days are a write-off. We’re talking about a solid gap with no real surf to speak of right through the weekend and into the middle of next week. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess, and the energy just isn't there. You’ll be waiting on the beach, not on the water.

The first faint glimmer shows up on Thursday morning, July 9th. We’re looking at a little 3 ft swell from the ESE, with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is weak at 105. The wind is a light WSW, so it’s blowing offshore, keeping things clean. It’s surfable, but only just. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

The real story, and the only standout in this whole 16-day window, is on Monday, July 20th. The morning shows a jump in size to 5 ft from the SSE, though the period is a short, weak 6 seconds. The combined energy kicks up to a moderate 215. It’s not the cleanest with a light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s the most size we’ll see. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 6 ft from the SSE, with energy at 309. But the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. This is a bigger, more powerful day, but with that short period, it’s going to be a bit of a messy wall to handle. This is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still a marginal call.

Now, if you’re a beginner, that 6 ft on the 20th is going to be a handful. It’s right on the edge of being too big for you. For the experts, it’s the only window with any real push. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so don’t expect any surprises there.

So, the outlook is lean. The best bet is the morning of July 20th, but don’t get your hopes up too high. It’s a long wait for a very average wave. Keep an eye on the sky, but I’m not holding my breath.

Rusty.

Information about the The Wall Surf forecast

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

The Wall is 4 km (2 miles) from Hampton. If you plan a vacation in New Hampshire, look for hotels and other accommodation in Hampton. Hampton has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
