The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got one window that’s worth circling on the calendar, but for the most part, we’re dealing with onshores, chop, and a whole lot of closeouts.
The first real chance we get is on Friday, August 14th. The morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 3ft of south-southeast groundswell rolling in with a long 13-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the north, which is a massive plus. This is the standout of the whole stretch. The energy is moderate, sitting at 316, but that long period and clean face will make it far more fun than the size suggests. Aleluia (Big Island) is a reef break, and this kind of long-period swell is exactly what it wants. Expect some proper lines. There might be a few others out, but it’s worth it.
Before that, it’s a write-off. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore from the east, with small, short-period windswell in the 3ft to 4ft range. The energy is weak to moderate, mostly in the 130 to 350 range, and it’s just messy. The swell is coming from the east, which is completely opposite to the optimum south direction for this spot. Not worth your time.
After that Friday morning window, the wind swings back onshore again and it’s back to the struggle. The swell does build, but it's coming with more SE wind and rain. The period drops below 10 seconds, and we’re looking at 3ft to 4ft of onshore slop. By the middle of the following week, around August 19th and 20th, the swell will have pushed up to 7ft plus, but it’s going to be a lumpy, rain-soaked mess. The energy is strong, hitting 681 and 737, but it’s not for paddling. That setup, with strong onshores and a beach/reef mix, looks way more interesting for the kite crew than for us.
So, the long and short of it: hold out for that Friday the 14th morning session. It’s the only clean one we’re getting. Everything else is just sand in your wetsuit. Stay patient.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Aleluia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aleluia 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.

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 Aleluia 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.
