The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, in imperial. The Wall is the only spot on the radar for this 16-day stretch, and I’ve got to be honest with you—it’s a grim outlook. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly below 100 (66), and often in the teens or low 30s. The water is a freezing 61°, which is a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year—that’s very unusual, so you’ll be needing a thick suit and probably booties.
The forecast starts on Monday, July 27th, with no surf worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long, painful gap of no decent recommendations right through to the end of the period. The swell is small, mostly around 1.0ft to 3ft, with short periods of 4 to 7 seconds, and the wind is almost always a messy cross-onshore. The only time it cleans up is on Tuesday afternoon, August 6th, when we get a glassy 4ft swell from the SSE with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 65, so it’s small, but it’s the one moment where the ocean lays down flat enough for a few ankle-to-knee high rollers. Even then, the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t expect much.
For a couple of days in early August, the wind turns light and clean, like on August 4th morning with glassy conditions and a 2ft SE swell, but the energy is a paltry 32. It’s just not enough to push a decent wave. The consistent pattern here is that The Wall is exposed to the ENE, but the swell is coming from the SE or SSE, which isn’t its ideal direction. With the swell so small and the wind often onshore, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s no standout session in this window. The best you can hope for is a glassy, small wave session on August 6th afternoon, but that’s about it.
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.
