The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the Wall and what's coming down the pipe over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to start things off. From now through to the morning of Sunday, August 16, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny waves, poor conditions, not worth paddling out for. It’s a bit of a dead run, but don’t let it get you down.
Things finally wake up on the morning of Monday, August 17. The Wall gets a kick from a solid 6ft SSE swell. Now, it's short period stuff at 6 seconds, so it’s not the cleanest groundswell you’ll ever see, but the waves will have some grunt. The energy reading is strong, so you’ll feel the push. Winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping the surface pretty clean for a Monday morning session. Being 6ft, it’s going to be pushing a bit for beginners, but for the intermediate crowd, there’s some fun to be had.
After that pulse, it settles right back down. Tuesday, August 18 through the weekend look small again, with mostly onshore or cross-shore junk. You’ll see a few little bumps in the 1ft to 3ft range on Wednesday, August 19 and Thursday, August 20, but the conditions are ordinary at best. There's a brief window of glassy conditions on Thursday afternoon, but the swell is only 2ft from the ESE, so it's a flat, slippery kind of glass.
The following week stays stubbornly small and messy. Through to Saturday, August 29, the swell barely cracks 4ft, and that’s on the 23rd. The winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the energy levels are pathetic. There’s a glimpse of light offshore flow on the morning of Tuesday, August 25 and some glassy moments on the 27th, but the swell is tiny.
Honestly, for this whole 16-day run, the standout window is that Monday, August 17 morning. Get in the water early. After that, it’s a long stretch of flat, unexciting conditions. The Wall just isn't offering much else.
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.
