The Lowdown
Alright groms, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this forecast is a dry spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of practically nothing.
The only break in the game is Arashi Beach, and this spot is already a rare breaker—it hardly ever works. Over the next two and a half weeks, there are big gaps with zero surf. Right off the bat, we’re looking at tiny 0.3ft waves out of the north, with a combined energy reading of just 2—that’s weak. Wind is howling out of the east at 22–28 mph, cross-offshore or straight offshore, which cleans it up but the swell is just too small to ride. And with that strong wind, paddling in is a chore.
That flatness stretches out. From September 5th through the 8th, we’ve got no swell at all. On the 9th, a little pulse shows: 0.3ft from the north, with a very long period of 14 seconds, combined energy up to 4. Wind is still up (25–28 mph) and offshore, so it’s smooth but still too small. After that, it’s flat again from the 10th to the 14th—just clean sky and breeze.
Then on September 15th in the afternoon, we see the last little bump: 0.3ft from the north, a 15-second period (that’s extra long period groundswell), and combined energy hits 5. The wind finally eases to 22 mph offshore, making it clean, but again—that’s barely a ripple. Water temp is about average for the season.
What you need to know: No standout days here. For a spot like Arashi Beach that rarely breaks, this quiet run is pretty normal. There’s nothing for a paddle surfer to get excited about. If you’ve got a kite, those steady offshore winds might be your only play. Otherwise, it’s a lot of sitting on the beach.
Keep the faith,
Rusty

Information about the Arashi Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Arashi Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Arashi Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Arashi Beach 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 Beach) 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 Beach 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.
