The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and funky. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy surf ahead. It’s going to test your patience, for sure.
Looking at the big picture, the energy just isn’t there. We’re looking at a long stretch where the waves are small and the conditions are ordinary. Starting this Tuesday, September 8th, we've got tiny 1ft waves with next to no energy (21). It's cross-off in the morning but just too small to bother with, and then it goes cross-on and choppy in the afternoon. Wednesday isn't any better, just a dribble of under 1ft surf.
Thursday the 10th is the first slight glimmer. It’s still only 3ft but the wind goes offshore from the W, cleaning things up. The energy is still weak at 73, so we're not talking about anything with punch, but it’s at least surfable. That’s about the best we get for a while.
From there, it's a whole lot of nothing. We'll see a few pulses of 1ft to 2ft surf, but with poor shape and no power. There’s a notable jump in size on Tuesday, September 15th, with the swell pushing to 5ft, but it comes with onshore wind and the energy (210) is still only moderate. Conditions are going to be poor, messy, and likely not worth the paddle out.
There's another uptick on Sunday, September 20th. The surf will be around 3ft, and the winds look offshore, which will clean it up. The energy (69) is weak, but it might be the most user-friendly it’s been in over a week. We’ll take it.
One thing to keep an eye on is the afternoon of Monday, September 21st. The swell is still small at 2ft, but the wind goes glassy. It will be as clean as it gets, even if the waves are tiny. A longboard might be your best friend that afternoon.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, Thursday the 10th and Sunday the 20th are your best bets. The long-range stuff for the 22nd and 23rd is still looking pretty weak, so don't hold your breath. It's a tough stretch, but that's the nature of it sometimes. The surf will come back around, it always does.
Rusty, out.

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.
