The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. The Wall is the only break on the radar, and it’s not looking good for a paddle.
It kicks off on Thursday afternoon, 30th July, with a bumpy 4ft swell from the ENE, but it’s ruined by a cross-onshore wind. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a good 4° colder than usual for this time of year – a bit of a shock to the system. The combined energy is weak at 205, so there’s just no juice.
From Friday 31st July right through to Wednesday 12th August, it’s flat or close to it. We’re talking days and days of tiny, weak waves – mostly under 2ft. There’s a brief moment early Friday morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the SE with a short period of 10 seconds – barely enough to get you wet. The energy readings are in the two-digit doldrums, often under 50. It’s just not happening.
The only glimmer of change comes way out on Thursday 14th August. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NE, and the combined energy hits 262 – that’s moderate. But it’s a messy, short-period windswell (6 seconds) and the wind is howling cross-onshore at 12–16 mph. The setup will be a choppy, blown-out mess. This one’s more for the kite crew than a surfer.
So, there’s no standout. No hidden gem. Just a whole lot of nothing. The Wall is a consistent spot, so this blank run is a bit of a stinker, but it happens. Stay tuned, the forecasts can change.
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.
