The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for The Wall.
First off, we’ve got a long dry spell before any real surf shows up. From Saturday 22nd through to late Monday 24th, it’s a wasteland of small, junk waves with onshore chop. Not worth a second look.
The first flicker of life comes on Monday 24th afternoon. The wind turns clean offshore, the swell picks up to 4ft from the SSE, and the combined energy hits a moderate 224. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak, but it’s clean. That’s the first real chance to get out. The Wall is a consistent, exposed spot, so it’ll catch whatever is out there.
Tuesday 25th afternoon offers a clean but tiny 2ft swell from the SE with a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is weak (59), but it’s rideable. The water temp is 66°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The standout session is Monday 24th afternoon. The wind is clean, the swell direction from the SSE aligns well with The Wall’s optimum ENE exposure, and the energy is moderate. It’s the best call in the whole run.
The rest of the forecast is small. There are a few clean windows: Wednesday 26th afternoon is glassy (2ft, SE, 8 seconds) and Saturday 29th has a light offshore (2ft, SE), but the energy is weak. The waves will be soft and short-period.
Towards the end, around Thursday 4th and Friday 5th September, the swell bumps up to 5ft and 5ft from the SE, but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are marginal. The energy is moderate (228-258), but it’s not clean. It looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf one.
Bottom line: wait for Monday 24th afternoon. Everything else is small and clean but very ordinary.
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.
