The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's run through the next 16 days for Halawa, Hawaii. Truth is, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a real dry spell from Saturday the 15th through to late Sunday the 23rd – that's over a week with basically no surf to speak of. The wind is relentless out of the east-northeast, blowing cross-shore and churning the water up into a lumpy mess. The swell just isn't there.
Things stay quiet through Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th. You might see some weak, choppy windswell around 3 feet, but that cross-shore wind isn't doing us any favors.
Then, on Wednesday the 26th, a bit more windswell shows up, but it's still under that same fresh easterly cross-shore breeze. It'll be bumpy and unappealing.
The only spark of real interest comes right at the end. Look at Sunday the 30th. We've got a proper swell arriving: 10 feet from the east-northeast with a long 14-second period, packing some serious energy. The problem is the wind is still cross-shore out of the east-northeast at 15 mph. So while the size will be there, the conditions will be choppy. This is strictly for the experts. The water temp is nothing unusual for this time of year.
So, a whole lot of waiting for one potentially wild, bumpy day on the 30th. Keep your hopes in check.
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.
