The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get down to it. It’s a quiet one, folks. For the first stretch of this 16-day forecast, we’ve got nothing. A total flat spell. The wind is blowing offshore, which is good for the surface, but with zero swell energy (0), it’s just a clean, empty ocean. For the next several days, there’s no surf to be had at all.
The wind is going to be blowing from the east at a solid 25 to 31 mph, sometimes stronger. It’ll keep the water smooth, but there are no waves for it to groom.
We get a little bump on Thursday, August 14th, but it’s tiny. A slight pulse from the north, around 0.3 ft, with a period of 13-14 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 3 or 4. It’s not going to be rideable.
Then on Tuesday the 18th, we see another small bump. A little more size, up to 1 ft, but the period drops to a poor 6 seconds. That’s just short-period wind chop, not real swell. The energy reading is still weak at 12. With the offshore wind, it’ll look clean, but there’s no power behind it.
Finally, as we roll into the last weekend, the 22nd and 23rd, it’s more of the same. A scant 0.3 ft of north swell with a period of 7-9 seconds. The energy is basically non-existent at 1. You can leave the boards at home.
Honestly, for the entire two weeks, there isn’t a single highlight. The main spot, Arashi Beach, is a place that rarely breaks anyway, so this quiet stretch isn't a surprise. The wind is consistently offshore, which would be great if there was any swell, but there isn’t. The only thing that might get some play is a kiteboard. For the surfer, this is a complete blank. Water temp is a warm 82°, which is average for the season.
It’s a washout, plain and simple. Stay patient, folks. It’s got to turn around sometime.
Rusty out.

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.
