The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what we're working with.
First things first, the water is way colder than normal – we're talking 62° with a big anomaly. It's running over 5° colder than usual for this time of year, so you're gonna want a thick wetsuit, no question.
Now, for the surf itself... I gotta be honest, it's looking grim. The whole 16-day stretch is mostly a long, flat bust with nothing but poor surf conditions. The first entry on Wednesday, July 29th, shows a weak 5ft swell from the ESE with a short, choppy period of 6 seconds, and a 12 mph onshore wind. The combined energy is low (135), and the wave report says "poor surf conditions." That sets the stage.
From there, it's a rough ride. Thursday the 30th sees a bit more size, hitting 6ft from the ENE, but it's under a 19 mph fresh cross-onshore breeze. The energy jumps to (313), but it'll be lumpy and messy – honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than for us paddle guys. That pattern holds: Sunday the 2nd of August has a 4ft SSE swell, but the period tanks to a terrible 5 seconds and the wind is cross-shore. No good.
There are some cleaner moments. Monday afternoon, August 3rd, shows a 3ft SE swell with a 9 mph offshore breeze – clean but tiny, from the wrong direction for The Wall, and the energy is low (38). Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th of August mornings have clean, glassy conditions with tiny waves (2ft and 1ft). It'll look pretty, but you won't be surfing.
There's one real standout for conditions, not waves. On the morning of Friday, August 7th, we get a glassy session – just 1ft from the SE, a light offshore breeze, and combined energy of only (11). It's basically flat, but if you've got a longboard and just want to sit out there in perfect glass, that's your moment.
Truth is, there's no "best surf" here. The whole run from now through Thursday, August 13th, is a washout for any decent ride. The Wall is a spot that needs swell, and it's just not getting any. When a little swell tries to show, the wind is always wrong – cross, cross-on, or onshore. The one clean offshore window on the 4th has waves barely 1ft.
So save your energy. The water is cold, the surf is poor, and there's no light at the end of the tunnel in this forecast. Hang loose.

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.
