The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, we’re staring down a long, flat spell. The first solid week is basically a write-off for any decent waves. We’re talking tiny, gutless slop from the 2nd right through the 9th of August – lots of nothing or ankle-biters under 2 ft. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking 30 (combined energy of all swells directed here). You’d be better off waxing the deck chairs than the board.
Things start to show a pulse around Monday the 10th. The first real flicker of life comes Tuesday the 11th into Wednesday the 12th. The standout in this whole outlook is Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay (Big Island) on Tuesday afternoon the 11th. We see a small 2 ft groundswell rolling in from the west, but the period hits 15 seconds – that’s proper long-period energy. The combined energy reaches 155 (moderate wave energy), and the wind goes glassy. For a reef and point, that long-period juice lines up beautifully. It’s just knee-to-waist high, but clean, glassy conditions will make it look like a million bucks for the intermediate crew. The water temp is sitting about normal for this time of year at 81°.
The following day, Wednesday the 12th, also has a brief moment. The morning swell bumps up to 2 ft from the west, with a 14-second period and combined energy hitting 200 (moderate). But the wind is light offshore, so the morning could offer a few tidy nuggets for the patient surfer. It’s not a standout, but worth a look if you’re keen.
After that, the 13th through the 17th sees a slow decline. The swell holds around 1 ft to 3 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and then starts to howl from the north-northeast, with speeds up to 12 mph. The combined energy gets up to 296 (moderate) on the 14th, but the cross-chop and mush ruin the party. It’s a marginal setup for a paddle board – maybe more interesting for the kite crowd if it gets strong enough.
Bottom line: if you can hunt that glassy window on Tuesday the 11th or Wednesday morning the 12th, you’ll get the best of a very quiet period. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.
