Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Halawa's got cookin' over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a tough stretch.
Right off the bat, from Sunday the 5th of July, we've got a solid 6ft of east-northeast swell rollin' in, but the wind is just wreckin' it. That fresh 22 mph cross-shore breeze is makin' a mess—lumpy cross-chop everywhere. The combined wave energy is 432, so there's plenty of push, but it's ugly. This pattern pretty much locks in for a week straight: heaps of swell, around 6ft to 7ft from the ENE, with that consistent 16-25 mph cross-shore wind. It's a no-go, every single day. Even the afternoons don't clean up. Totally blown out.
We finally see things change around Monday the 13th of July. That morning there's a tiny 1ft westerly swell, very long period at 15 seconds, but the wind is still cross-shore and messy. Energy drops right off to just 85. Then it tries to build again that afternoon with 6ft from the ENE, but we're back to lumpy conditions. From the 14th to the 19th, it's a real mixed bag. A few westerly groundswells show up on the 15th, 16th, and 17th—2ft to 2ft with a very long 15-16 second period—which is promising in theory. The energy is moderate, around 180 to 236, but the wind, although lighter at 12-16 mph, is still cross-shore and just enough to keep things bumpy. That long period west swell would be dreamy at a point or reef, but with the cross-breeze, it's not gonna be the clean session you're hoping for at Halawa.
For the last few days, from the 20th, we get a little spike in east swell on the Monday morning—6ft but a short period of 6 seconds and cross-shore wind again. Not worth the paddle.
Honestly, there is no standout session in this whole 16-day window. The near-term is a total write-off with strong cross-winds, and the later period has some nice long-period energy but never catches a clean wind window. The water temp is a mild 79°, pretty average for this time of year, so no excuses on that front. It's just one of those stretches at Halawa where you're better off leaving the board at home or checking if the kites are flyin'—that consistent cross-breeze and 7ft chop is more their scene.

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.
