Hawaiizinho Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour. I’m Rusty.

We’re looking at a rough stretch at Hawaiizinho. The only spot in the forecast, and it’s a tough one. The surf is small, weak, and the wind is never your friend. A long gap of poor conditions, with no real standouts.

Starting now, July 24th and 25th, it’s all cross-shore winds and tiny waves. Swell heights are around 2ft to 4ft, coming from the east or east-northeast, with periods of just 5-6 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is low, between 47 and 85 (weak energy). The water is warm at 81°, about 1° above average, which is pretty normal. But the wind is a moderate breeze, 12-15 mph, mostly cross-shore, and the surf is poor. Not worth it.

On July 26th, Sunday morning brings a cleaner cross-off breeze from the southeast, and swell hits 5ft from the east, still a short 6-second period. Energy climbs to 165 (moderate). But by afternoon, the wind swings back to a cross-shore, 18 mph, and it gets lumpy. Still, “poor surf conditions” is the call.

From July 27th through August 1st, it’s the same story. Swell bounces between 3ft and 5ft, east or east-northeast, 5-6 seconds. Energy is moderate at best, often below 100. The wind is a constant issue – cross-shore, cross-on, or cross-off, but never truly offshore. The surf is poor every single session.

Then on August 2nd, Sunday morning gives a tiny pulse of 5ft from the east, period up to 7 seconds, with a clean cross-off wind from the southeast. Energy hits 237 (moderate). The comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” This is the closest we get to a highlight, but it’s a long way off, and still only a 1 out of 10. No standout.

August 3rd through 8th is more of the same – 4ft to 5ft, east swell, 6-7 seconds, moderate energy, but always cross or onshore winds. Mornings are occasionally cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but afternoons are choppy or lumpy. The “poor surf conditions” tag never leaves.

So, there’s a gap of no real surf from now until August 2nd, and even then, it’s marginal. For a beginner spot like Hawaiizinho, the swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s not too big, but the quality is just not there. The wind is the killer. There’s no standout session, no perfect glassy day, no clean long-period groundswell. If you’re desperate, August 2nd morning is your best bet, but don’t expect much.

A blank run like this is a bit of a downer for this area. It’s not normal, so forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang up the board.
