The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Hale O Lono.
The next couple of weeks are gonna be a real mixed bag, if I'm honest. We’ve got a bit of a dry spell kicking things off straight away, with no real surf to speak of on the first day. The water temp here is sitting at a pretty standard 80°, so nothing unusual for this time of year.
The first chance for a paddle comes on Wednesday the 29th of July. It’s small, though, with waves around 2ft from the south. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping things clean, but the energy is weak (125). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Thursday the 30th shows a pulse of longer period swell, with 3ft from the south, a 14-second period, and a jump in energy to moderate (390). The wind is a light cross-shore in the morning, which is alright, but the conditions are still rated as marginal. It’s not going to get you out of bed.
After that, the outlook gets grim. From Friday the 31st of July right through the first week of August, it’s poor conditions all the way. The wind pipes up from the ENE, hitting 22 mph some days, and while it’s cross-off, it’s a fresh breeze that’s going to make things a battle. The swell drops off to as low as 1ft with energy dipping into the double digits (46), and the surf quality is just not there.
The second week starts to look a bit more promising, though it’s further out. On Sunday the 9th of August, we see the swell start to build again. By Sunday afternoon, we’re looking at 3ft from the SSW with a very long 18-second period, and the energy is strong at 509. Monday the 10th of August is the true standout for this entire outlook. The waves push up to 4ft from the SSW, period is a solid 15 seconds, and the energy is very strong at 646. The wind is a moderate cross-off breeze. It’s still a bit small for the reef, but that’s the biggest and most powerful swell we’re going to see. That Monday into Tuesday will be your best bet for a wave, even if the conditions are still only considered marginal. The period is long enough that it’ll hold up nicely here.
Overall, there’s very little quality on offer. Barring that small window around the 10th of August, the rest of the 16-day stretch is a write-off for a proper surf.
