The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough run. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with basically no surf to speak of for the entire 16-day window. From now through to the end of the forecast, there’s nothing rideable. The energy is at zero (0) every single day. That’s a flat-out blank stretch starting from the 12th of August and running all the way to the 27th.
Arashi Beach is the only spot in the mix, and it rarely breaks as it is. This is one of those times where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. The wind is up, blowing strong offshore or cross-off from the east and east-northeast, hitting 18 to 31 mph most days. That makes for clean, blown-out surfaces, but there’s simply no swell to push any wave face. You’re looking at a lot of wind chop and no real push. The water temp is about average for the time of year, for what that’s worth, but you won’t be getting wet unless you’re a kite surfer. With that much wind and zero swell, this setup is way more interesting for kiteboarding than paddle surfing.
There’s no standout session here, no hidden gem. It’s all flat. The good news is, for a spot that’s inconsistent, this kind of dead run is more normal, and forecasts can change.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts.
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.
