The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m gonna level with you. The Wall is our only real option on the table for the next couple of weeks, and to be honest, it’s a pretty grim stretch of small, weak, and messy surf. The first few days through to next week are mostly poor: tiny 1ft to 2ft waves with onshore or cross-onshore winds and not enough energy to get excited about. Combined swell energy sits mostly in the low double digits or below 100, which is weak. The water temp is 66°F and the anomaly is plus 1°F, so about average for the time of year.
We do get a tiny window of hope on Friday morning, September 4th. That morning brings a glassy 3ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds. It’s not big, but combined energy is 91 (still weak) and the wind is dead calm—glassy conditions. That’s about as good as it gets here for the whole 16 days. The Wall is an exposed, consistent spot that works best with an ENE swell direction, so the ESE direction is a bit off-angle, but with clean conditions, it’ll be rideable for intermediates—just don’t expect barrels.
After that, the surf drops back to tiny junk through the weekend and into the following week. There is a brief uptick on Saturday, September 12th, with a 3ft SSE swell and a cross-off wind, combined energy jumps to 127 (moderate), but the period is a short 8 seconds, so lumps, not lined-up waves. The wind is clean enough for a go, but still nothing special.
For the second week, from September 14th onward, we see a stronger pulse: 4ft from the south on Monday morning, September 14th, with a cross-off wind and combined energy of 104 (moderate). The period is only 5 seconds though—short and fat. It’ll be a little punchy but messy. That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but the quality is still poor. Overall, the standout is that glassy Friday morning—tiny but clean. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
