The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it's a bit of a flat spell ahead for Arashi Beach. The entire 16-day window from now through to the 17th of August is looking pretty grim for any real surfing. There's no swell to speak of.
The first real sign of any wave energy doesn't pop up until the afternoon of the 8th of August, and even then it's just a tiny 0.3 ft ripple from the north. That's basically nothing. The combined energy of all swells making it to the beach is a measly 2 (weak energy). You'd be floating around for nothing.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year. The easterly wind is howling at 25 to 28 mph for most of the period, with a few days hitting 31 mph. While it's often blowing offshore, keeping the surface clean, that wind is so strong it makes paddling out a real battle and the waves are just too small to ride. By the afternoon of the 14th of August, we're talking a near gale at 31 mph, which is just brutal.
Arashi Beach is a beginner spot, but it rarely breaks, and this 16-day stretch is a perfect example of why. With no swell and constant strong wind, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's just a blank run for surfers, which is fairly normal for this area when the swell windows don't align. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
