The Lowdown
Howdy folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on this one.
I've got to level with you – this stretch is a desert for surf. From now all the way through to Friday, August 14th, there's virtually no wave energy. The combined swell energy is zero (0) day after day. The wind's blowing off or cross-off at 25 to 31 mph, which is a fresh to strong breeze, but with no swell, it's all just wind and flat water.
The only break we've got is Arashi Bay Reef (Arashi-Bay-Reef). It's a reef that rarely breaks, and you can see why. Water temp's about 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothin' unusual.
Then on Friday, August 14th, we get a whisper of a pulse: 0.3 ft swell from the north, with a 14-second period. The combined energy is a measly 4 – that's weak. It's not enough to surf, just a hint on the tide. After that, it's back to zero, with the same strong offshore winds making it clean but empty.
A dry spell like this is pretty ordinary for this spot given how inconsistent it is. The winds stay favorable all 16 days, so if a proper swell ever came through, it'd be glassy, but without any energy in the water, we're just looking at a flat ocean. Don't get your hopes up.
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.
