The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch for The Wall. The next two weeks are mostly a write-off, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
Right now, heading into Thursday afternoon the 23rd, we’ve got tiny 3ft swell from the southeast, but the wind is cross-off from the south. It’s clean, but the wave energy is barely a whisper at 73. The water is a frigid 60°, which is a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a very unusual chill, so a thick wetsuit is a must. That’s about the best it gets for a while.
Friday the 24th morning actually goes glassy with a light ESE breeze, but the swell drops to 2ft and the period is a weak 7 seconds. The surf is just poor. From there, we slide into a long weekend of poor conditions. The wind swings onshore and stays there, with small, weak, choppy waves through Saturday and Sunday. The energy stays low, in the 40s and 60s, and the swell is tiny.
There’s a brief pulse on Tuesday the 28th afternoon when the swell kicks up to 5ft from the SSE, and the energy jumps to 212 (moderate), but the period is a terrible 5 seconds and the wind is onshore. It’s a marginal, messy affair. Wednesday the 29th sees a bigger swell of 6ft from the ESE (energy hitting 414), but again, it’s cross-on, choppy, and the period is only 8 seconds. Not worth paddling out.
We get a brief moment of calm on Thursday the 30th morning – glassy, zero wind – but the swell is back to 2ft. It’s surfable but ordinary. The rest of the second week is a desert of tiny, weak, or onshore junk. By Wednesday the 5th of August, the wind goes clean and cross-off, but the swell is 1ft. It’s just not happening.
The Wall is a consistent spot, so a blank run like this is a bit of a shock, but the forecast is what it is. There’s no standout in this window. When the energy is low and the direction is all wrong for the exposed ENE setup, you just have to wait. The forecast can change, but right now, I’d find another hobby for a bit.

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.
