Bommie Peak Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Grab your board, it’s gonna be a bit of a waiting game, but there’s some solid pulses coming through for Bommie Peak (Big Island). Water temp’s sitting at 85.1°, which is about 1.4° warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it’s a touch toastier than normal.

Right now, Monday morning is pretty flat and weak. We’ve got a 3.9ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, but the energy’s only 880 – that’s weak stuff. Cross-off breeze at 25 km/h keeps it clean, but it’s marginal at best. Honestly, Monday’s a write-off. The afternoon bumps up slightly to 3.6ft but it’s still nothing to get excited about.

Tuesday sees the swell ease back a bit to 3.6ft in the morning, but the period jumps to 18 seconds—that’s proper groundswell. Energy’s climbing to 1246, still moderate, but the long period means the reef will feel it. The afternoon pushes to 4.3ft at 17 seconds, energy up to 1478. It’s building.

Then Wednesday, the 9th, things start to wake up. We’re looking at 6.6ft from the south with a 15-second period. Combined energy hits 1922—that’s solidly moderate, pushing strong. Cross-off wind keeps it clean, though the morning has a bit of cloud and the afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms. This is where it starts to feel real.

Thursday the 10th holds 5.6ft in the morning, 5.9ft in the afternoon, with period around 16-17 seconds. Energy climbs to 2121 by the afternoon. Still cross-off, still clean. It’s a consistent run now.

Friday the 11th is the first standout I’d paddle out for. Morning’s 4.9ft at 15 seconds, but the afternoon is the pick: same size, same period, and the wind drops to a gentle 15 km/h cross-off. The comment literally says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is a reef break, so that long period will give you proper walls, not closeouts. Energy’s moderate at 1229, but the quality is there.

Saturday the 12th is a bit of a mixed bag. Morning drops to 4.3ft but the period jumps back to 19 seconds—that’s very long. Energy’s 1993. The afternoon picks up to 5.6ft with a 19-second period, and energy spikes to 2783, which is the strongest we’ve seen. So it’s got size, it’s got power, but the tide conditions are still flagged as “questionable.” Not a bad day, just not the absolute peak.

Sunday the 13th pushes to 6.9ft from the SW, 17 seconds in the morning, 16 in the afternoon. Energy’s 2436 and 2218. That’s solid, meaty reef surf. Still cross-off, still clean. For an advanced crew, this is good. Anyone less experienced should sit this one out—over 4.9ft is pushing it, and at 6.9ft, Bommie Peak isn’t forgiving.

Monday the 14th backs off a touch to 5.9ft, period 16 seconds. Morning’s a bit stormy, but the afternoon is another one of those “excellent for experienced” calls. Energy around 1743-1771. Worth a sneaky session if the tide lines up.

Tuesday the 15th has a 6.6ft morning, dropping to 5.2ft by the afternoon. Period’s 15 seconds. It’s still surfable but not as sharp as the day before. Wednesday the 16th drops to 4.6ft morning, 4.9ft afternoon, period 14 seconds. Energy’s back down to 1011-1203. It’s tapering.

Then Thursday the 17th—watch out. Morning has a light NNE breeze, 10 km/h, cross-shore with small ripples. Swell’s 5.2ft at 14 seconds, energy 1517. Then the afternoon turns
