The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown on The Wall.
Let’s call a spade a spade – the first week and a half is pretty gutless. The swell is tiny and the combined wave energy is mostly under 30 (weak), so you’re looking at flat to ankle-biters. The first real chance to paddle out comes on Thursday, August 13th in the afternoon. It’s only a small 3ft SSE swell with a 5-second period, but the wind swings offshore from the WSW, cleaning it right up. The energy is 56 (moderate) – enough for a few fun little ones if you’re not too picky.
The big highlight – the only one that really gets the heart pumping – is Thursday, August 20th. The morning brings a solid 6ft east swell with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 672 (very strong). The wind is cross-off from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. By the afternoon, the swell drops a touch to 5ft, still from the east, with a strong offshore breeze from the WNW at 15 mph. The energy is still strong at 339. This is the best day of the whole outlook – a proper east swell with clean, offshore conditions. The Wall is exposed and consistent, and the east direction is spot-on for the break. It’s pushing into the 5ft+ range, so it’s a bit much for beginners, but intermediates and above will have a blast. Just remember the short period means it’ll be a bit quicker and more sectiony, so you’ll be doing some paddling. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get out there early.
Before that, on Wednesday, August 19th, there’s a 3ft ESE swell with cross-off wind in the morning, but the energy is only 89 (weak) – it’s just not enough to get stoked about.
After the 20th, it fades fast. Friday the 21st has a leftover 3ft east swell and clean cross-off wind, with energy down to 116 (moderate), and by Saturday the 22nd we’re back to knee-high nothing.
So, a long wait for one good day. But that Thursday the 20th? That’s your day. Get it while it’s there.
Rusty out.

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.
