The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let's look at the charts for The Wall for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, to be honest. Let's dive in.
Right from the jump through to the end of the first week, the swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is all over the place. There's no real standout wave. The energy is weak (a paltry 62), so it's a real slow start.
Things try to pick up on Sunday, September 6th. We've got a pulse of moderate energy (220) with some chest-high, 5ft swell out of the ENE. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the NNE, so it's going to be a bumpy mess. Later that afternoon, it goes glassy, but the swell drops to 3ft. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
If you're keen for an early session on Thursday, September 10th, it looks better. We get a moderate offshore breeze from the WSW, which should clean up the 3ft, short-period (6-second) swell. The energy is weak (66), but the clean conditions make it the best wave of the early run.
Now for Saturday, September 12th, things get more interesting. We see a jump in size with 6ft to 6ft of ENE swell, and the energy spikes hard (229 and 629 combined). This is solidly in intermediate/expert territory, especially as the period is only 6-8 seconds, meaning a punchy, full-on wall. The wind is a messy cross-shore then onshore, so quality will be a battle. It'll have power, but it won't be pretty.
From the 13th of September onwards, it fades right back to tiny, knee-to-waist high slop. The energy dives (down to 11 combined), and you'd be better off staying on the beach. There's just no push.
If I have to pick the pick of a slim crop, the Thursday, September 10th morning session is your only real bet. The 3ft swell is small, but that 12 mph offshore wind from the WSW is going to make it glassy, crisp, and well-shaped. It's the cleanest it'll be all week, but you want a grovel board. The midday crowd will likely blow it out, so get on it early.
For the rest of the window, it's a long, slow grind of tiny waves and average to poor conditions. It's a tough run, and nothing really stands out.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
