The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you, it's a bust for the next 16 days. We're looking at a flat spell with no real surf to speak of at Arashi Bay Reef. The wind is howling out of the east and east-northeast at 25 to 31 mph for the vast majority of the period, which is a strong offshore breeze that keeps the water clean, but with no swell to work with, it's a whole lot of nothing. The water temp is sitting at a normal 83.1°F, so at least it's warm for a paddle.
The first couple of days are a total write-off. We see a tiny bump of 0.3 ft from the north on Thursday the 10th but it's carrying a weak 3 units of energy and the wind is still a strong 25 mph cross-offshore, making it unsurfable. That same story repeats itself on the 13th, 14th, and 15th – a few glimpses of 0.3 ft north swell with periods ranging from 9 to 12 seconds, but the energy is pathetic (2 to 8 units) and the wind is relentless. It's all just "poor surf conditions" with no score.
The second week doesn't get any better. The 17th offers a tiny 0.3 ft north swell with a long 14-second period, but again, the energy is a measly 4 units and the wind is howling at 28 mph. The rest of the week into the 21st is completely flat. For a spot that rarely breaks anyway, this is a long, flat stretch. You'd be better off with a kite in this wind, because there's nothing to paddle into. It's a tough one, but that's the way it is.

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