The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what The Wall has in store for us.
The outlook is a tough one, I'm not gonna lie. We're looking at a long, dry spell with virtually no surf to speak of for the first two weeks of the forecast. It's a real stretch of nothing. From Wednesday, the 5th of August, right through to the morning of Monday, the 18th of August, the waves are just too small and the conditions are poor. The swell energy is weak, barely registering on the charts, with values hanging around the single digits and low twenties (like 25). It's just flat, flat, flat.
Then, a bit of hope flickers. Monday afternoon, the 18th of August, we see a little kick in the swell. The swell height picks up to 4 ft, from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy pushes up to a moderate 143, but the wind is a cross-shore from the SSE at 12 mph, making it choppy. The call is still "poor surf conditions" though, so it's not exactly a winner.
Wednesday, the 19th of August is the real standout. The swell stays at 4 ft from the ESE, with an 8-second period, but the wind switches to a cross-offshore from the SW at 9 mph. That makes things clean. The combined energy is solid at 153. This is when you get "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not the best surf of your life, but it will be the best in the window. The Wall (The-Wall_1) is exposed to the swell, and the ENE is the optimum direction, so this ESE swell is a little off-angle, but it'll work. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Thursday morning, the 20th of August also offers a chance. The swell drops a touch to 3 ft from the ESE, period 8 seconds, and the energy is 116. The wind goes glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, making for a clean, fun morning. It's still "surfable but ordinary."
So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are a bust. Your best bet is to wait for Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th of August for the cleanest, most rideable waves. It's not pumping, but it's the only game in town.
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.
