Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Rusty here, talkin' the same stretch of coast but in feet and miles per hour.

First few days are dead. Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 27th, you’re looking at 1ft to 2ft SW swells, but the wind’s a nuisance – cross-off or offshore with a moderate to fresh breeze that’ll chop up the surface. Wave energy is weak, from 116 to 285 (combined energy). Not worth your time.

Finally, early Friday morning the 28th, we get a tiny bump. Swell hits 2ft from the SW with a very long 19 second period, and a fresh offshore breeze from the ENE. Clean, glassy, but small, and tide could be a factor. Energy is 748 (moderate). A few fun ones if you’re desperate, but nothing special.

The standout day is Saturday the 29th. Morning swell is 4ft from the SW, 16 second period, with a nice moderate offshore ENE breeze. By the afternoon, it builds to 5ft, still offshore from the E, and energy surges to 1191 (strong). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – clean, powerful, with long period meaning good shape for a reef. Water temps are about average for this time of year. This is your best session hands down.

Sunday the 30th holds 4ft from the SW, but the wind turns cross-off, and there’s a chance of rain showers in the morning. Afternoon cleans up with a light SE breeze. Energy stays in the moderate-to-strong range (681–774). Surfable, but not as crispy.

Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September drop off to 3ft to 3ft SW, but you get dead calm glassy windows – W wind on Monday afternoon, and SSW wind on Tuesday afternoon. Those windows will be clean and fun, just smaller. Energy is moderate (279–393).

Wednesday the 2nd to Thursday the 3rd of September gets ugly. Morning of the 2nd is okay with a cross-off breeze and 2ft SW swell (18 sec period, 362 energy), but the afternoons turn cross-onshore and choppy. No good.

Another big standout is Friday the 4th of September. Morning delivers 4ft from the SW with a 18 second period and a light offshore breeze from the E. Energy is 1287 (strong). Excellent for experienced surfers again. Afternoon stays big but gets cross-onshore wind, so get out early.

Saturday the 5th of September keeps that energy going, with 5ft to 5ft SW swells and a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. That’s solid, clean surf, but at that size it’s expert territory on the reef. Energy is strong (1152–1247).

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September ease off: 4ft down to 3ft from the SW, with offshore or cross-off winds. Energy drops into the moderate range (368–671). Still clean, still okay, but fading.

Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September are just a whimper. Swell drops to 3ft then 2ft, energy is moderate to weak (481–601), and the wind is cross-off. The last entry on Wednesday the 9th is a poor 2ft with a long 18 second period but hardly any push behind it (481).

Bottom line: Saturday August 29th is your number one pick – clean, solid, offshore, and proper size. Friday September 4th is another great one, a bit further out but worth keeping tabs on. The rest is just filler.

Rusty out.
