Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming up for us. Let's get straight into it.

So, we’re looking at a pretty drawn-out run of small but workable swell, mostly from the south and southwest. The wind is gonna be a constant factor, with a consistent easterly breeze keeping things cross-off to offshore for most of the period. The water is sitting at 85° for the first mention, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home.

We’re talking about Hemorrhoids, and this one’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south swell.

The first real action kicks off Friday the 10th. We’ve got a mix of conditions here. Friday morning is a bit of a tease - the swell is 3ft at 15 seconds from the SW, so there’s some long-period groundswell energy in the water (combined energy of 377), but the wind is a cross-off. It looks a little messy. Later in the day into the weekend, the wind locks in offshore from the east, and things start to clean up nicely.

Saturday the 11th is where we start to see some real consistency. The swell holds around 3ft to 3ft, period bumps up to 16 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 513 on Saturday afternoon. That’s moderate energy, but with that long period and clean offshore wind, the waves will have shape and push. This is a standout window – it won’t be big, but the quality will be there for a groveler or a fun mid-length.

We roll through the week with similar conditions: Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 15th offer a steady diet of 2ft to 3ft SW swell, with easterly offshore winds keeping the surface smooth. The energy values hover in the moderate 300 to 400 range. It’s not pumping, but it’s consistent and clean. Keep an eye on Tuesday the 14th, though – the wind picks up to 19 mph, which is a fresh breeze, and the morning session looks poor.

Now, the second week is looking a bit more stretched. From Thursday the 16th through to Wednesday the 22nd, the swell drops a touch (2ft to 3ft) but the period stays solid, often between 13 and 17 seconds. The combined energy starts to dip, especially on the morning of Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th, where the wave comment outright says poor conditions. The wind remains a constant easterly, often strong, which will keep it offshore but maybe a bit bumpy at times.

The real standout in the extended forecast is Saturday the 25th. That’s nine days out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it has potential. The morning shows a punchy 3ft SSW swell with a period of 12 seconds and a combined energy of 535 – that’s solid. The afternoon gets even more interesting: the swell drops to 2ft but the period jumps to a very long 21 seconds, and the combined energy spikes to 732. That’s moderate-to-strong energy for the size. That long-period groundswell will wrap nicely around the reef, and with offshore wind, it could produce some clean, lined-up waves. It might be a little full at the beach, but at a reef point, it’ll be magic.

Overall, the best bet for a proper session is Saturday the 11th into Sunday the 12th. Clean, consistent, and fun-sized. The long-range Saturday the 25th is the one to watch, but don’t build your week around it just yet.

This is Rusty, signing off.
