The Lowdown
Rightio, let's get into it. This is one of those tough stretches where the ocean looks like it's got a proper sulk on. The forecast for The Wall over the next sixteen days is a long, pretty flat run, no two ways about it. You’ve got a big gap here of over a week where there’s just nothing doing that’s worth firing up the jetski for. The first two weeks of September look like a write-off. The whole pattern is stuck in a cycle of tiny, weak slop from the southeast.
Right from the start, Sunday the 30th of August, we’re looking at a 1ft SE swell with a short 8-second period and a combined energy reading of just 26 – that’s about as weak as it gets. Conditions are messy. By Monday the 31st, it drops even further to a pathetic 1.0ft.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning has a moment where it goes glassy, dead calm, with that barely-there 1.0ft swell, but the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” It’s just not doing anything. Wednesday the 2nd sees the swell height creep up to 4ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds, but the energy jumps to 186 (moderate), and the wind is direct onshore. That’s just blown-out, messy junk.
Come Thursday the 3rd, the swell holds around 5ft to 5ft from the SE – which is getting too big for beginners – but with a 6-7 second period and cross-to-direct onshore winds up to 16 mph, there’s no shape. A beach-and-reef setup like The Wall under those conditions is more of a kiteboarder’s playground than a surfer’s wave.
From the 5th of September right through to the 14th of September, the swell just fades back into the dirt. Wave heights sit between 1.0ft and 3ft with combined energy values that barely scrape into triple digits. The winds actually turn quite nice at times – you get clean conditions with cross-offshore breezes on Sunday the 13th, for example, when a 3ft spike shows up from the S with a tiny 4-second period – but that’s just windswell washing in and out.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. There’s no secret diamond in the rough. The best you could hope for is a flukey clean session on the 1st of September morning when it's glassy, but with only 1.0ft of swell it’ll be a real exercise in patience. The rest of the month is a classic flat spell. Sometimes, the ocean just says “nah.”

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.
