The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. I’ve looked at the charts for Arashi Bay Reef, and the 16-day outlook is a tough one to swallow.
Right now, we’re looking at a big old zero. There’s simply no swell on the table. The combined energy of all swells directed here is sitting at 0 for the entire period. That’s a flat spell, plain and simple. We’re talking about a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, so this kind of blank run isn’t a surprise, but it still stings.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but there’s nothing to ride in it.
From Thursday, July 23rd all the way through to Friday, August 7th, the story is the same: no surf. The wind is a constant factor, with strong offshore breezes from the east, often at 25 to 28 mph. While the wind state says "offshore" and "clean" for the surface, the problem is that with no waves, you’re just staring at a flat, wind-chopped ocean. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across every single entry. The swell height, direction, and period are all dashes, meaning nothing is coming.
Even when you get a "fresh offshore and clean" or "strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into" note, it’s meaningless without a wave to paddle into. The score is a flat 0 across the board.
There is no standout. There is no best day. If you’re looking for a paddle, this isn’t it. The setup, with that consistent strong offshore wind, might look interesting for kite surfing, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go. The area is known for these dry spells, so don’t lose hope, but this forecast is as barren as it gets.
Keep your eyes on the charts, and I’ll be here when the swell comes back.
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.
