The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: it’s looking pretty flat out there for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, you’re going to need to be patient. It’s not going to be a complete blank, but it’s close.
We’re looking at a significant gap right out of the gate. From now until the end of the first week, there’s essentially nothing worth paddling out for. Each day blends into the next with ankle-biters and poor surf conditions. The water temp is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, coming in at 65°F, down a full 2°F from the average, which you’ll feel on those long waits between sets.
The first real sign of life shows up on Thursday, August 21st. We finally see a pulse of new energy, with the combined swell energy jumping to 66 in the morning. It’s still not big, pushing 4ft from the SE, but the period is short at 5 seconds, so it’ll be pretty junky. The wind stays light, but it’s onshore from the ENE, which will keep things lumpy.
By the afternoon of the 21st, the swell is up a bit more to 4ft from the SE, and the energy is now a solid 156, which tells me there’s some push behind it. But the period is still a poor 6 seconds, which makes for a crumbly, bumpy wave. This is the only real swell on the charts, and honestly, it’s just not a clean setup. The cross-onshore wind isn't doing us any favors. This isn’t the day to grab your favorite board; it’s a day to watch the horizon and hope for a better forecast.
Everything else in this 16-day window is a write-off. There are long gaps of several days with absolutely no recommendations. It’s a classic case of “no news is bad news.” The breaks here tend to stay consistent, so this flat spell is a bit out of the ordinary, but it happens. Keep the board in the car, keep an eye on the charts, and hopefully, the next pulse will have a bit more period and cleaner winds behind it.
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.
