The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight: the next 16 days at The Wall are looking pretty grim. This spot is a consistent intermediate break, but the forecast is a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and a lot of cross‑shore wind. The water’s sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice, but it won’t help the waves. There’s really no good surf on offer the whole window. A few mornings show glassy conditions, but the waves are barely knee‑high, and the energy is weak (mostly under 100). The only slight pulse comes on July 31 (Friday) with a 4‑5 ft SE swell, but the period is short (6s) and the wind is cross‑offshore – still poor surf. For a break that’s normally consistent, this is a flat run. Swell doesn’t stay poor forever, so keep an eye out, but for now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
Rusty out.

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.
