The Lowdown
Right, mates, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those painful outlooks where the ocean just isn't playing ball. We’ve got a full 16-day window, from July 20th right through to August 4th, and it’s a dead flat run for the only spot on the radar, Arashi Bay Reef. There’s absolutely no surf energy on offer; the combined swell energy is sitting at a flat zero for the entire period. The water’s sitting at a warm 82°F with an anomaly of 1°F, so it’s about average for this time of year—at least the water temp is fine, but there’s nothing to ride.
The wind is howling from the east, mostly fresh to strong breezes, and while it’s blowing offshore or cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean, that doesn’t matter when there's zero swell. The wind is strong enough to make paddling out a chore if there was something to paddle into, but there isn’t. Arashi Bay Reef is a rare-break spot anyway, and this forecast confirms it – a blank run like this is pretty normal for a setup that rarely sees action. For the first week, from July 20th to the 26th, it’s all zeros. The second week, July 27th through August 4th, is the same story. There’s no standout, no best on offer, just a whole lot of waiting. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the wind might make for an interesting kite session, but for surfing, leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total shutout.
Rusty.

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.
