The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what we’ve got coming up.
Straight up, Halawa (reef/river) is looking at a long patch of poor surf. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t pop up until almost a week from now, on Wednesday, July 29th. Before that, it’s a whole lot of lumpy, cross-shore winds and choppy seas. The water temp is 80°, which is about normal for the season.
The best bet is the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. We’ll see a 8ft swell from the ENE, with a 10-second period, and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong at 1313, and the conditions are clean. The swell direction is close to the optimum NNW for this break, and the size is solid. That morning is your shot.
The afternoon of the 29th is weaker, with a 8ft swell and a risk of thunderstorms, and the conditions get marginal. After that, it’s back to small, choppy junk with strong cross-shore winds for days. There’s another pulse on Wednesday, August 5th, with a 7ft swell from the ENE and a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s not worth the paddle. The energy is strong at 1159, but the chop will mess it up.
Bottom line: the morning of Wednesday, July 29th is the only time to get excited. The rest of the two weeks is a bust.
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.
