The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let me break down what’s happening at Arashi Bay Reef.
I’ll level with you – the next 16 days are a complete washout for surfing. There’s zero wave energy (0) and no wave height on any of the charts. For a break that rarely breaks, this kind of long flat spell isn’t completely unusual, but it’s still a bummer. The water temp here is about 82°F, which is what you’d expect for this time of year.
From Friday, July 17th right through to Saturday, August 1st, it’s all the same story – no swell. The wind is howling out of the east, mostly a strong breeze around 25 mph. You’ll get periods of offshore wind that keep the surface clean, but without any waves, who cares? It’s like having a perfect day for a picnic with nothing to eat.
The only thing worth mentioning: Towards the end of the run, around July 29th and into August, the wind eases up to a fresh breeze. Still flat, but if a tiny swell popped up, paddling out wouldn’t be such a battle compared to the near-gale conditions on July 27th.
That’s the long and short of it. A whole lot of nothing. Grab a cold one and wait for the charts to change.
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.
