The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check out what's coming up in the surf for the next couple of weeks.
It's a pretty grim start for Hellesto. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that's about the only positive. The wind and swell are all over the place, so don't hold your breath for anything special.
Your first real shot is on Friday, the 11th of September. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the SW with a 8-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean. The combined energy is moderate (299). It's a fairly consistent beginner spot, so it's not going to be epic, but it's rideable.
It drops off quickly after that. Saturday morning, the 12th, looks marginal with a 3ft W swell and a long 11-second period. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy is moderate (279). The long period might make the waves a bit fat at the beach, but you might snag a few with the clean conditions.
Then we hit a big dry spell. The next chance worth talking about is Wednesday, the 16th of September. The morning is the clear winner of the whole forecast. A 5ft WNW swell and glassy, near-calm wind. The combined energy is moderate (341) and the surf should be clean and lined up. This is your best window. The afternoon gets a little bigger to 6ft, but the wind swings onshore, so get on it early.
After that, it's a long slog. There's a small, ordinary window on Saturday, the 19th of September. A 3ft W swell with a long 12-second period, and a light offshore wind in the morning. The energy is low (198) and the conditions are just "surfable." Not a day to get excited about.
The rest of the second week is mostly a write-off—choppy, onshore, or just too small. This is a lean forecast. Keep your eyes on Wednesday the 16th—that's the only real standout.
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.
