The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got coming up for The Wall.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this 16-day run is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary to poor conditions, with a couple of very brief windows where you might get a wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance to get wet doesn't show up until the afternoon of August 28th. That Friday afternoon, we've got a tiny 3ft swell from the SE with a clean offshore wind from the WSW. It's not much, but it's the cleanest we'll see for a while. The swell energy is pretty weak at 102, so don't expect any power.
We then have a big gap of nothing until the morning of September 1st. That Tuesday morning, the swell jumps up to 4ft from the E, but unfortunately the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is onshore, making for poor conditions. The energy is moderate at 134, but it's just not worth it.
The most interesting period starts around September 4th. On Friday morning, the swell builds to 6ft from the ESE with a 9-second period, giving us a strong 605 energy reading. The wind is cross-onshore, but the conditions are described as marginal. This is bigger stuff, but it's still pretty messy. By the afternoon, it's 6ft and onshore wind. This trend continues into the 5th and 6th, with solid energy in the 300-500 range, but the wind is always a problem.
Honestly, for The Wall, the standout moment is the morning of September 6th. It's a Sunday. We've got a clean 3ft swell from the E with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy. The energy is a moderate 128. It's small, but it's the cleanest, most surfable wave in the entire 16-day forecast. If you're itching for a paddle, that's your window.
For the rest of the run, it's flat or blown out. The swell hangs around a bit more on the 8th with a 4ft from the SSE and a clean offshore wind, but the period is a terrible 4-5 seconds, so it's just bumpy chop.
Overall, keep your expectations low. The standouts are very few and far between.
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.
