The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Halawa region over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a pretty blank run here. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. The first few days are flat, and even when the swell tries to show up, the wind just won't play ball. It’s a long, dry spell, and for this area, that's not totally unusual, but it still stings.
Starting from Tuesday, July 14th, right through to the end of July, the story is the same: messy, cross-shore winds. Most days we’ve got a solid ENE breeze up to 18 mph, just tearing the surface apart. The swell is small to moderate, with combined wave energy mostly in the low hundreds (260-364), but it’s all junk. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there, but you’ll need a spring suit.
The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the run. On Wednesday, July 29th, the morning shows a bit of a pulse. We see a 6 ft swell from the ENE with a period of 7 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 370. That’s a moderate amount of energy. But again, the wind is still a cross-shore 12 mph, which will make it lumpy. It’s the best on offer, but it’s still a far cry from good.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, Halawa is a no-go. The setup is a reef/river mouth, and with that constant cross-shore wind, it’s going to be a bumpy, frustrating mess. There’s nothing here for a paddle surfer. If you’re really desperate for a session on the water, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than anyone else.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

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.
