The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. The first few days are pretty grim, with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 3rd of September.
We finally get a pulse of swell on Thursday morning, with 5ft waves from the SSE. The period is short, just 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch, but the combined swell energy is moderate (186). The wind is cross-offshore, which should keep things clean. By Thursday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus, but the swell drops back to 4ft. This is your best chance for a surfable wave, but it’s still pretty ordinary.
Moving into Friday the 4th, the swell fades fast. Morning brings glassy conditions with 3ft waves from the ESE, but the energy is weak (61). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it. The rest of the forecast is a real struggle. Saturday and Sunday see a shift in wind, with moderate breezes and choppy conditions ruining the small, inconsistent swell.
The second week is a total write-off for decent waves. From Monday the 8th right through to Wednesday the 16th, the swell stays tiny, rarely cracking 2ft, and the combined energy never gets out of the weak range. The wind does go clean and cross-offshore, even glassy at times, which is a tease, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a full-on flat spell.
So, the standout is undeniably Thursday the 3rd of September at The Wall. That 5ft SSE swell with cross-offshore wind in the morning, and the glassy afternoon session, is the only time the stars align for a proper surf. It’s still not world-class, but it’s the best we’ve got. Crowds are possible, so keep an eye out.
The Wall remains exposed to the swell, and the direction from the SSE is a bit off from its optimum ENE, but the clean conditions will make it rideable.
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.
