The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

To be straight with you, this 16-day period is a flat spell for The Wall. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first week is almost a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer much hope either. There are long gaps of days with no real surf to recommend, so don’t be holding your breath.

The only blip on the radar that might get a bit of attention is Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 963 – moderate wave energy, but right on the edge of being a handful. This is only for experienced surfers, though; at that size it’s gonna be a grunty, heavy wall. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, which will keep it clean, but the swell direction is coming from the SSE, not the ideal ENE that this spot loves. It’s a marginal call, and tide could mess with it.

Thursday morning, July 23rd, offers a small window with 4ft from the SE, period of 9 seconds, and clean conditions thanks to a light northerly. Combined energy is 172 – weak. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

Outside of that, you’re looking at days of tiny, weak, short-period windswell in the 1.0ft to 3ft range, with onshore or cross-onshore winds spoiling what little shape there is. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but with conditions this poor, you’ll likely have the place to yourself.

Honestly, this is a proper flat patch. The Wall is exposed and usually picks up something, but the forecasts aren’t promising anything good. A blank run like this is more the norm for this part of the year, so don’t be surprised if it stays quiet.

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.
