The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf and a lot of wind messing things up. You’re gonna want to keep your board in the car and maybe take up a hobby, because there’s not a whole lot to get excited about.
The swell energy is just pathetic. We’re talking combined energy readings mostly in the single digits and twenties – that’s weak, weak, weak. The wave heights are hovering around 0.3ft to 1ft for most of the window, which is barely a ripple. The wind is all over the place, too, with a lot of cross and cross-onshore breezes chopping things up. There is a brief pulse of slightly better energy on Monday afternoon that bumps us up into the moderate range at 219, but even then, we’re only looking at a 4ft swell.
The only spot that even registers on the radar is The Wall. It’s a consistent, exposed break, so it’ll catch anything that’s out there, but with this forecast, it's mostly going to be a lake. The wind direction at The Wall is looking for an ENE, and we’re getting a lot of S and SSE swell, so it’s not even lining up right.
Let’s break it down. Monday afternoon, the 3rd of August, sees a little bump to 4ft with a 7-second period and light cross-off winds. That’s our most promising window, but it’s not a standout. It’s just “better than nothing.” We'll go from there to pretty much nothing for the next week and a half. There’s a four or five-day stretch of flatness around the 12th through the 16th that’s just a dead zone. Just don’t even look at the ocean.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. If conditions are this flat and disorganized, it's a bit of a blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but this one looks stubborn. For now, sharpen your pencils or go for a skate. You won't miss any waves.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
