The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Arashi Beach is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell with next to no surfable waves on the horizon.
To be honest, the whole 16-day window is a bust. From Monday, September 14th right through to Sunday, September 27th, you're looking at tiny, almost non-existent swell. The wave energy is barely registering, with readings as low as a weak 1 or 2 (combined energy of all swells directed here). Most days the swell height is a flatline at 0.0ft or a pathetic 0.3ft. While the wind is often offshore or cross-off, keeping the surface clean, there's just nothing to ride. A 0.3ft wave with a 13-second period is a lake ripple, not a wave.
Even the water temp is pretty standard for the time of year, sitting around 83°, so no surprises there.
There is one tiny glimmer, but you have to wait for it. On the morning of Monday, September 29th, we see a little bump of life. The swell is still tiny at 0.3ft, but it's coming from the north with a long period of 14 seconds, and the wave energy climbs to a 4. The wind is a light, cross-off breeze. This is the best, and really only, option on the table, and it's a poor one. It's a break that rarely breaks, and this confirms it.
So, what’s the call? There are no standouts. If you absolutely have to get wet, your best and only chance is the morning of September 29th at Arashi Beach for some ankle-biters. But even then, keep your expectations on the floor.

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.
