The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk Hellesto. The next couple weeks are a bit of a slow burn, with a rough start and only a few windows worth getting wet.
The first few days are real quiet – nothing worth chasing until we get past the weekend. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for September, about 60°.
First real chance is Tuesday, September 8th in the morning. You’ve got a west swell at 4ft with a long 14-second period. Moderate energy (814) and a cross-off breeze from the SSE keeping it clean. Marginal conditions, so watch the tide.
The best session of the whole run is Wednesday, September 9th in the morning. Clear skies, a light NE cross-off wind, and a clean 4ft southwest swell at 8 seconds. Moderate energy (288) but the conditions are lined up for good surf. That’s your go.
After that, it’s mostly onshore slop or tiny swell until the second week. Thursday, September 17th morning could be interesting – 6ft southwest swell at 8 seconds, moderate energy (612), and clean cross-off southerlies. One for the more experienced.
And then Monday, September 21st morning shows a 5ft west swell with a long 13-second period, clean winds, and solid energy (760). It’s a long way out, but if it holds, that could be the second week’s best.
Hellesto’s a fairly consistent spot, but this stretch is mostly flat or poor. The pick is Wednesday morning – get it while it’s clean.
Rusty.

Information about the Hellesto Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hellesto provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hellesto can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hellesto 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 (Hellesto) 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 Hellesto 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.
