The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The Wall is the only spot showing up, and to be blunt, this is a pretty grim stretch for surf. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off. There’s no real swell energy to speak of, and the little waves that do show are tiny and messy. We’re looking at a solid gap of poor conditions from start to finish, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right now, through the first weekend (September 5th and 6th), the swell is a measly 3 ft coming from the NE and E, but the period is a short, weak 5 to 7 seconds. That’s windswell, not groundswell, and it’s sloppy. The wind is cross-on or cross-shore, so the surface is chopped up. The combined energy is only 67 (Sunday afternoon gets up to 118, but that’s still weak). The Wall isn’t going to be offering anything rideable.
Moving into the next week, from September 7th through the 20th, the swell drops even further. We’re talking 0.3 ft to 2 ft most days. There are a few glimpses of cleaner conditions, like Monday morning (September 7th) with a light offshore NW wind and a small 2 ft swell from the E, but it’s just too small to bother with. You’ll see some glassy mornings (September 12th and 15th, for example) with the wind dropping to nothing, but the swell is barely a ripple at 0.6 ft to 2 ft. The combined energy hangs around single digits or low double digits—it’s dead.
The most interesting thing is the wind late in the period. On Friday, September 18th, we get a fresh offshore WNW breeze at 15 mph, which means clean conditions, but the swell is still a pathetic 2 ft with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is 44. That’s not surfable. It’s more of a kiteboarding breeze than a surfable wave.
The water temperature is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The Wall is a consistent break, but it just has no swell to work with for the entire 16-day forecast. There are no standouts, no best days. I’d say put the board away and check back next week – forecasts can change.

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.
