The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve looked over the charts for Arashi Bay Reef. Honestly, things are looking pretty bleak for us over the next 16 days. We’ve got a major dry spell on our hands, with almost no surfable swell on the horizon.
Right now, starting today (Sunday the 26th of July), and stretching all the way through until the start of August, it’s a total flat spell. The ocean is showing zero energy for paddle surfing – the combined swell energy is sitting at a flat zero (0). The water temp is 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The wind is the only thing that’s active, and it’s relentless. Strong offshore breezes from the east (22 to 31 mph) are keeping the surface clean, but with no waves to push around, that doesn’t do us a lick of good. It’s so windy it’s going to be a nightmare just to paddle out if anything did show up. On the 30th of July and the 5th of August, we see near gale force winds at 31 mph, which will make it almost impossible to get out the back.
We don’t see a single proper wave until Friday the 7th of August, and even then it’s a tiny 0.3 ft from the north with an 11-second period. The energy is weak at a value of 2. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. It’s a cruel tease.
The one and only break in this entire window is Arashi Bay Reef. It’s a rarely breaks reef break, and the forecast is proving that perfectly. With only a whisper of swell coming in over a week from now, and constant, powerful wind, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just no quality on offer for a surfer.
We’re looking at a long, blank run until at least the 10th of August, when we get another tiny 0.3 ft pulse from the north, this time with a very long 15-second period. But the energy is still pathetic (4), which is basically flat, and it’s likely to break straight and close out. I don’t expect anything to come of it.
Hang tight, folks. It’s a tough run. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s as flat as a pancake. I’ll keep an eye on it for you.
