Hawaiizinho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me level with you. I’ve been staring at the charts for Hawaiizinho and honestly, mate, there’s nothing to get excited about across the entire 16-day window. We’ve got a stretch from July 15 all the way through July 30, and every single session is marked as poor surf conditions – except for one morning on July 29 that’s only “marginal” with questionable tide. That’s a long dry spell. The water’s sitting at a warm 82°, about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold if you’re just floating around.

The first few days – July 15 through 18 – offer tiny, short-period swell from the east, mostly around 3ft to 5ft, but the wind is either cross or cross-off, never truly offshore. The combined energy is weak to moderate (71 to 228), but the waves are messy, with a cross-chop or lumpy texture. The optimum swell direction for this spot is NNE, but we’re getting E/ENE – not a good match. The period is only 5–7 seconds, so it’s all windswell, lacking any punch.

From July 19 to 28, the pattern holds: consistent 4ft–6ft east swell, period 6–7 seconds, and winds that stay cross or cross-off. The wave comment stays “poor surf conditions” and the energy ranges from 101 to 219. The morning of July 29 finally shows a 5ft easterly swell with a 7-second period and clean cross-off wind, but the forecast calls it “marginal” – still not worth paddling out for. The afternoon turns cross-on and lumpy. July 30 is more of the same.

Bottom line: there’s no day where the wind, swell, and direction line up. A beginner break like this needs clean conditions, and we’re not getting them. If you’re desperate, the July 29 morning is the least bad, but don’t expect much. The energy is there (219) but the quality isn’t. It’s a blank run – and for this area, that’s not unusual when the trade winds lock in. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, I’d save your energy.
