The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. The Wall is looking pretty underwhelming for the first week or so. We’re looking at a solid gap of days with hardly any waves to speak of. The wind is all over the place, and the swell is flat. It’s one of those stretches where you’re better off checking the wind forecast on a kite, because the paddle surfing is going to be a chore.
The first real sign of life comes on Saturday the 22nd. The wind is set to come from the NW, which is a nice offshore direction, and the swell will be a clean 3ft from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (211). It’s not a big day, but it’s the first decent wave of the forecast. The Wall is a consistent break, so it should be one of the better setups.
Sunday the 23rd stays clean with a WNW wind, but the swell drops to around 2ft and the energy tails off (97). It’s a small, clean day, but nothing compared to the Saturday afternoon session. If you’re picking your moment, Saturday the 22nd is the standout. It’s the cleanest, most energetic swell we’ve seen in a while, and it’s worth the wait.
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.
