Table - best surf conditions forecast for Halawa over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our local waters.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a solid run of poor conditions, with that fresh cross-shore breeze blowing from the east through pretty much every day and night. The forecast shows persistent cross-chop, and the swell is a mess of short-period windswell that just isn't offering any quality. For the first two weeks, there's genuinely nothing worth paddling out for. The break is either too lumpy or the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean face. It's a long stretch of nothing.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the run. We're looking at Monday the 27th of July for a potential change. The wind is forecast to ease back to a moderate 12 mph cross-shore, and the swell ticks up a little. Now, I'm not saying it's going to be epic, but it's the first time the computer has coughed up anything other than a flat "poor". The wave energy is moderate at 529, so there's some push behind that 7 ft ENE swell.
The standout to keep an eye on would be Halawa. Even then, it's a marginal call. The cross-shore wind will still be there, but a moderate breeze is a lot friendlier than the fresh stuff we've been dealing with. The swell direction is ENE, which is not ideal for the optimum NNW direction, but with that much energy, it might wrap in enough to offer a few salvageable ones. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Just keep your expectations in check. It's a long-range whisper, and things could change, but it's all we've got on the board.

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.

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.
