The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down what's actually on offer at The Wall. For the next 16 days, it’s mostly a flat spell. The water’s sitting around 64°, dead average for the season, so nothing weird there.
First chance to even get wet is Monday the 14th, but it’s minimal. You’re looking at a 2 to 3 foot SE swell with a short period under 8 seconds. Light offshore wind in the morning from the NNW will clean it up, but the combined energy is weak (54). That’s barely a knee-high dribbler. Afternoon cleans up too but still nothing to write home about.
What follows is a dry spell – from the 15th all the way to the 20th, almost a week of no surf worth mentioning. Late on Sunday the 20th, it gets glassy under light rain, with a tiny 1 foot SE swell, period up to 11 seconds. Still weak (52). If you’re desperate, you might scrape a ride, but it won’t be fun.
Things finally get a pulse on Monday the 21st. Swell bumps to 4 feet from the ENE, but onshore wind from the NE at around 12 mph ruins it. Energy is moderate (117), but the surface is just too choppy for decent paddle surfing.
Now, the real standout is Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th. This is where the numbers get excited. Swell hits 6 to 6 feet from the ESE with a 10-second period. Combined energy is strong – hitting 574 and 622 – that’s serious power. But the wind is screaming onshore from the NE at 19 to 22 mph. At The Wall, which is a beach break, that cross-on wind is going to make it a washing machine. At over 5 feet and with that onshore kick, this window is way better for kite surfers than paddle-in surfers. Beginners should stay away – it’s too big. Experts might find raw, heavy lumps if they’re tough enough to handle the chop.
The Wall is usually a consistent break, so this kind of flat-to-messy run is a bit of a bummer. But forecasts change. Keep your eyes on that last pulse of size: it’s got the power, but you’ll need some wind luck. For now, your best bet is that Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th if you’ve got big balls and don’t mind it ugly.

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.
