The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about Asakawa. This little point break can be a tease – it's inconsistent and sometimes gets crowded, but when it lines up it's a beauty. Over the next couple of weeks we've got a long, quiet spell before a proper pulse finally arrives.

The first ten days or so are pretty flat and uninspiring. From Thursday July 16 all the way through to Sunday July 26, we're looking at tiny waves – mostly under 2 feet – with light onshore breezes and that weak, short-period energy. You'll see a few mornings with glassy conditions, but the swell just isn't there. The combined energy barely breaks 100 (it's in the 30s to 90s), so it's really only a paddle at best. There's nothing worth getting excited about.

Then things start to stir late on Monday July 27. The swell builds quickly – 4.6 feet by morning, but it's a cross-onshore wind and the waves are a bit choppy and messy. Not your ideal session. The combined energy jumps to 724, but the quality is still marginal.

Now here's the standout, and it's about a week and a half away: Tuesday morning July 28. That's the one to circle on the calendar. We've got a solid 7.9 foot swell from the south, with a long 14-second period – proper groundswell that will really wrap into the point. Early wind is glassy, just a light easterly that's barely there. The combined wave energy is strong at 2247, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. Because it's a point break, that long period

Information about the Asakawa Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Asakawa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Asakawa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Asakawa 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 (Asakawa) 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 Asakawa 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.
