The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead, to be honest. The swell window is just not cooperating, and the wind is a persistent problem. We’re talking about a long, dry spell with only a few tiny windows of potential.

The first real pulse of energy we see doesn't arrive until Sunday, August 2nd, down at Halawa. That morning, a 8ft swell from the ENE rolls in with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is pumping hard (767), but the wind is a dirty cross-shore from the ENE at 22 mph, which is going to make a mess of it. It’s a fresh breeze with a lumpy cross-chop, so it’s going to be choppy and hard to get a clean wall. The water temp is a comfortable 80°, which is about normal for this time of year.

That pulse drops off through Monday, August 3rd, with a 6ft ENE swell (432 energy) and still that cross-shore wind. The conditions are just poor.

Things get a bit more interesting on Tuesday, August 4th. A 5ft ENE swell bumps up with a longer period of 11 seconds (619 energy), which is proper groundswell. But again, the wind is a cross-shore from the ENE at 12 mph. The report calls it a "marginal surf forecast" – it’s the closest we get to a stand-out, but it’s still a gamble. The energy is there, but the wind is going to be a constant battle. For a more experienced surfer, it might be worth a look, but it’s not clean.

The rest of the run is honestly a write-off. From the 5th of August through to the 14th, we see a lot of days with tiny swell under 2ft, or small pulses that get absolutely hammered by strong east-northeast winds. We see a few 5ft to 6ft swells on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th, but every single one is paired with a cross-shore wind of 16 to 22 mph, creating lumpy, messed-up conditions. It’s a long, frustrating gap.

Honestly, the best bet in this whole 16-day window is Tuesday, August 4th. The swell is decent at 5ft, the period is a solid 11 seconds, and the energy is moderate (619). It’s not a classic, but it’s the only day that’s even close to rideable. Just be prepared for that cross-shore wind to make it tricky.

Rusty out.

Information about the Halawa Surf forecast

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