The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Arashi Bay Reef.
It’s a pretty bleak picture overall. This break rarely breaks at the best of times, and for the next two and a half weeks, it’s basically a no-go. The water temperature is sitting right around average for the time of year at 83°, but that’s where the good news ends. There’s simply no swell energy to speak of. Most days show a combined swell energy of zero (0), meaning the ocean is dead flat here. The few days that show a little something, the energy is weak with values like 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, all well under the 100 mark. The swell heights never exceed 0.3 ft, which is barely a ripple.
Now, because this reef is exposed to swell from the NW and the optimum direction is NW, and everything coming in is from the north, the angles are off. The short story is that from Sunday the 13th right through to Monday the 28th of September, the surf is poor. There is not a single standout day. The wind is offshore pretty consistently from the ENE, blowing at 19 to 28 mph, which is a strong breeze. While those strong offshore winds would clean up any wave that tried to stand up, the problem is there are no waves to clean. It’s an empty ocean.
Given the lack of swell and the persistent strong wind, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The long gap of flatness runs from the start all the way through to the end of the outlook. There is simply nothing to recommend.
This is one of those blank runs that's more normal for the area when a break rarely breaks. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, don't bother packing your board.
Stay tuned, Rusty.

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.
