The Wall Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, checking in with a look at what’s on the cards for The Wall over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch for The Wall. The first few days are a write-off—nothing but poor surf and ugly conditions. The good news is we’ve got a few windows where things clean up, but you’ll have to be patient.

The first real chance of a paddle comes Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. We’ve got a 5ft SSE swell rolling in, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit of a lumpy, wind-affected mess. Still, the wind is a cross-offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but honestly, don't expect much. The energy is moderate (160).

Friday morning the 4th is a bit of a letdown after that. Swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, still a short period, but a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW will keep the surface tidy. It’s small, but it’s the best we’ve got in the near term.

Now, look ahead to Monday morning the 7th of September. The swell is only 3ft from the East, but the period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The real kicker here is the wind: glassy. Absolutely glassy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no drama there. This is your best bet for a clean, fun session, even if the size is small. The energy is moderate (168).

After that, it’s a desert. There’s a tiny pulse on Tuesday morning the 8th with a 2ft East swell and a clean offshore wind, but it's weak. Then we hit a long, dry spell. From the 9th right through to the 16th of September, there’s barely a ripple. Swell sizes drop below 2ft, and the energy falls into the low double digits. It’s pretty much a flat spell for over a week. The only glimmer is the afternoon of the 16th, where we get a 3ft NE swell with a clean offshore wind, but it’s short period and weak energy (68).

There’s a final flicker of hope on Thursday morning the 17th. A 3ft East swell with a 7-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is back up to moderate (151). It’s clean, but still small. That’s the real standout of the second week, but it’s a long way off and things could change.

So, to sum it up: Monday the 7th morning is your best bet for a clean, glassy session, but it’s small. After that, the board stays in the car for a long time.

Rusty.
