The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks at The Wall.
First off, the water is sitting at 64°F, which is a bit colder than what we’d normally expect for this time of year. That anomaly is just over a degree, so you’ll feel that slight chill compared to the usual.
Right now, there’s pretty much nothing doing. The first few days are dead flat, with tiny, weak windswell in the 2ft range and short periods. Mostly messy cross-off or cross-on breezes, and not a single wave worth paddling for. You’re looking at a blank run from now through Tuesday morning.
Things finally start to change on Wednesday morning, 22 July. That’s when we get a bit of life. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 488 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, keeping things pretty clean. The afternoon holds similar size at 6ft, a little more energy (496), and still a light cross-off. This is the best on offer for the whole outlook – not huge, but clean, and it’s the only real push of energy we get. For an intermediate crew, this is a go.
Thursday morning, 23 July, still has some decent leftover swell at 4ft from the SE, with a 9-second period and a moderate offshore from the W. That’s nice and clean. The afternoon drops off a bit in size and energy, but it’s still surfable.
After that, we’re back to small, weak stuff. Friday and Saturday mornings have glassy conditions but only 2ft to 3ft of swell, and the energy is low (84 and 54). You can get a little knee-high wave if you’re desperate, but nothing to write home about.
The rest of the run into early August stays tiny – 1ft to 2ft, with short periods, and mostly onshore or cross-on winds. There’s no real standout window after that Wednesday-Thursday burst. The crowds at The Wall are “sometimes” an issue, but with this kind of small surf, it won’t be packed.
If you’re a kite surfer, the windier, choppier afternoons later in the period might look more interesting than paddle surfing. For the rest of us, the best bet is to aim for Wednesday 22 July and Thursday 23 July – that’s your window.
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.
