The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, it’s pretty bleak. The entire 16-day window is basically a flat spell. We’ve got a stretch starting now, from Monday the 24th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, where there’s just nothing happening. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
The only spot on the map is Arashi Beach, and she’s a rare breaker at the best of times. Unfortunately, for this whole period, the swell energy is a big fat zero, or close to it, with a couple of days showing a tiny 0.3 ft pulse from the North that barely registers on the energy scale (3). That’s not enough to push a ripple.
The wind is howling. For days on end we're looking at strong offshore and cross-offshore breezes from the East, blowing 22 to 31 miles per hour. On the plus side, it will keep the water glassy and the surface clean, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a windblown lake. A couple of the afternoon slots are showing “strong offshore and clean but hard to paddle into” – and that’s a moot point when there’s nothing to paddle into! For a beach break like Arashi, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfers than us paddle surfers.
So here’s the bottom line: don’t bother waxing the board for the next two weeks. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows aren't lining up. Forecasts can change though, so keep an eye out, but for now, the surf is a total write-off.
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.
