Table - best surf conditions forecast for Gas Chambers over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty signing in from the Gas Chambers. Let's have a look at what’s coming down the pipe over the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Gas Chambers (Big Island). Right from Thursday the 9th of July onwards, there's just no swell on the cards to speak of. We’re looking at a long stretch with next to no wave energy, with the combined energy of all swells directed here stuck at zero for days on end. The water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird there.
Friday the 10th through the weekend is a total write-off. Despite some clean offshore winds – ENE at 9 to 19 mph – without any swell to work with, it's just flat. You could paddle around on a SUP, but that’s about it.
We do scrape up a tiny bit of life late on Saturday the 11th afternoon and into the new week. For instance, Sunday morning the 12th sees a weak 0.7ft swell from the north with a period of 9 seconds, but the combined energy is just 6, so it's barely a ripple. Monday the 13th offers similar tiny 0.7ft pulses from the NNE, but with a combined energy of only 16. All of this with clean offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to surf. You're looking at ankle-biters at best. This micro-swell pattern trickles along until about the 19th of July, with heights never cracking 1ft and periods dropping under 8 seconds toward the end, which is just wind chop. The combined energy rarely even hits the teens (4 to 16).
Then from the 20th of July right through to the 24th, it goes completely flat again. No swell, no energy. Plain zero.
So what's the standout? There isn't one, sadly. This is a blank run that suits the area when it’s this inconsistent. The only "positive" is the persistent offshore winds, which would make for silky conditions if there was any wave to ride. The only thing that looks interesting here is that, with these steady cross-off trades and no paddle-worthy surf, the setup is more suited for kite surfing than a traditional surf session. There's no one standout day.
Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell.
Rusty.

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