The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, the ocean is flat-lining. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but tiny, weak lines and soft conditions. It’s going to be a real test of patience out there. There are no big swells on the cards, and the energy in the water is just plain weak for the foreseeable future.
The only real window where you might even bother getting wet is the first 24 hours. Tuesday morning at The Wall (Eliat) is about as good as it gets, and that’s not saying a whole lot. We’ve got a clean 2ft of swell from the SSE, with a light offshore wind making for some tidy little waves. The energy is weak, coming in at 55, but it’s rideable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit. The Wall is usually consistent, so you might find a few fun ones if you’re keen. Tuesday afternoon the swell picks up slightly to 3ft, but the wind swings cross-offshore, making it a bit more difficult to find a clean face. It's still the best the next 16 days will offer.
From Wednesday onwards, it’s a tough watch. The swell drops away, and the periods get short and jumbly. We’re talking knee-high slop with onshore breezes at times. The combined energy just dies a death, often dipping into the low teens and below. There is a long stretch of days here where I wouldn't recommend paddling out. The swell is just too small and weak to do anything with. Even the glassy mornings with zero wind are going to be flat and unproductive.
Looking further out, the second week gets no better. The swell stays tiny, and whilst there’s a period around the 12th and 13th where the long-period swell shows up, it’s coming from the east, which isn't your optimum direction. That long period with almost no height just means it will close out if anything breaks at all. We're looking at a lot of days with clean but totally flat conditions. The waves that do show on the 15th and 16th, just under 2ft, are just storm slop with a short period and onshore winds, more of a nuisance than a surf.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Tuesday morning at The Wall is your only play. The rest of the time, it’s board on the rack and patience, my friend. This is one of those blank runs that happens from time to time. Keep an eye on the charts, because these stretches don't usually last forever.
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.
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.
