The Lowdown
Right, it’s Rusty here. I’ve looked at the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a flat spell. The whole 16-day run is a blank, with no surf recommendations at all. Every single session is tagged as poor surf conditions, and the scores are all zero. It’s a proper dry spell for The Wall.
The first few days, like Monday the 3rd, have a bit of wind swell around 3 ft from the SSE, but it’s short period, 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 61. The wind is a messy cross-shore, and there’s even a risk of thunderstorms. That’s not surfable, it’s just a messy, rainy day. Tuesday the 4th sees a drop to 2 ft with offshore wind, but it’s still too small and weak to do anything with. The pattern just keeps repeating: tiny waves, poor conditions, and no energy.
Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. It tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change, but for now, there’s nothing to get excited about. The Wall is exposed, and when it’s flat, it’s flat. Keep the board in the car, but don’t bother waxing up just yet.
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.
