The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, looking at what we’ve got for The Wall. I’ll be honest, the first week and a half is pretty grim. We’re talking tiny, weak surf day after day. The wave comments are all "poor surf conditions" for a solid stretch. It’s a real lull, and there’s not a single session I’d paddle out for until we get into the tail end of the run.

Finally, on Thursday the 24th, something shows up. The morning brings a southeast swell at about 4ft, with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 180 – way better than the dusty numbers before it. The wind is light from the west-northwest, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, and it’s the only window that looks worth a damn.

Now, Friday the 25th keeps the swell size at around 5ft out of the southeast, with energy climbing to 335. But the wind switches to a cross-onshore from the east-northeast, so the surface gets lumpy and choppy. It’s got more push, but it’s not as clean.

The pick of the whole sixteen days is that Thursday morning session. Clean wind, decent waves for the first time in ages. That’s your one shot. Everything else is a pass.

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.
