The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a classic case of "the ocean has gone quiet." We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the surf is virtually non-existent. There’s nothing on the table from the start until the very end of the forecast period, with days of flatness stretching out ahead. It’s not unusual for this area to see a blank run like this when the swell windows aren’t lining up. Keep the optimism though; forecasts can shift and it rarely stays this dead for long.
The only break on the cards is Arashi Beach, but don’t get your hopes up. It’s a spot that *rarely breaks* as it is, and for this entire outlook it’s delivering tiny dribbles. From Sunday 30 August right through to Monday 14 September, we’re looking at waves no bigger than 0.3 ft. The combined energy is a weak 6 at best, and often down to zero – that’s barely a ripple.
The good news? The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off from the east, which would keep things clean. But with a swell that’s all but flat, clean doesn’t matter. The swell is out of the north, which is the wrong direction for Arashi Beach – it needs north-west. Periods are around 10–13 seconds, but there’s simply no height to ride.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
By Thursday 10 September, there’s a tiny pulse of 0.3 ft again in the morning, but it’s gone by the weekend. Honestly, if you paddle out for this, you’ll be fighting a strong breeze (22–28 mph) for nothing. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – at least they’ve got the wind.
There are no standouts here. The best advice? Wait for the next swell cycle.

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.
