The Lowdown
Alright, you salty dogs, let’s talk surf in the language of the land. Here’s what’s up.
So, the outlook here is a bit of a mixed bag, and I gotta be straight with you – there’s a real gap of proper surf for a while. The first proper stand-out we get is a little window on Wednesday afternoon, the 29th of July. The swell is coming in at a clean 5 ft from the ENE, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is a glassy 3 mph from the East. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (645). That’s the kind of session you’d be a fool to miss. The water temp is sittin’ at 80°, which is pretty much bang on for this time of year, so nothin’ weird there.
But listen, after that Wednesday afternoon, it gets grim. There’s a proper dry spell for days. The wind picks up and just howls, mostly cross-off but strong, and the swell gets jumbled and messy. From Thursday the 30th right through to Tuesday the 5th of August, it’s just a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions. The wind is a relentless 16 to 28 mph from the ENE, and while the swell sticks around 5 ft to 8 ft, the short period of 8 seconds means it’s all wind-affected chop. This is not paddle-surfing weather; it’s a kite-surfing special. The combined energy gets up there, hitting 1379 on Saturday the 1st, but without any quality, it’s just a washing machine.
Now, we get a little glimmer on Tuesday afternoon, the 4th of August. The swell drops to 5 ft from the ENE, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the wind is a gentle 9 mph from the NE. You get a clean, longer-period groundswell feel to it. The combined energy is moderate (554). It’s not a monster, but it’s a step up from the junk.
The real promising one, the one that’s got me a bit excited despite the time of year, is 10 days out. Monday morning, the 10th of August. The swell is only 3 ft, but it’s from the SSW with a long, long 16-second period. The wind is a gentle 9 mph from the ENE. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (580). Now, that long period *is* a bit of a caveat for a spot like Baby Haleiwa—a reef break—so it might not be a perfect barrel, but it’ll have shape and push. It’s the best on offer in the second week, but remember, it’s a long-range call, so don’t book the day off yet.
