The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we're looking at a pretty grim 16-day stretch ahead for Arashi Bay Reef. The forecast is essentially flat and blown out, so don't expect any real waves to ride.
We kick off today, Friday the 28th of August, and honestly, there's nothing on offer. The wind is howling offshore at 25 mph, which sounds good for clean conditions, but with a combined wave energy of 0, there's simply no swell to work with. That wind is just ripping across a flat surface. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, but you won't be getting wet for the waves.
This pattern of no swell and strong offshore winds will persist right through the entire 16-day forecast. From Saturday the 29th all the way through to Saturday the 12th of September, the story is the same: energy readings of 0 or barely registering a 1 or 2, with swell heights that are effectively nil, around 0.3 ft at best. The wind is nearly always a fresh to strong breeze from the east or east-northeast, keeping the ocean clean but offering nothing to ride.
For a break that rarely breaks, this blank run is, sadly, pretty normal for the area. There are no highlights, no standouts, nothing to get excited about. If you're hell-bent on getting wet, the consistent strong offshore breeze might make this spot look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but for a surfboard, leave it at home.
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.
