Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s talk about your window. It’s a quiet spell for the most part, with a few windows that’ll get you wet. The water is sitting at 85°F, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a little noticeably warm, but nothing crazy.

The action kicks off on Sunday, July 12th, but to be honest, it’s pretty marginal. There’s a 3-foot swell from the SW with a period of 14 seconds, but the wind is a fresh offshore from the ENE at 30 km/h. That ENE wind is clean, but the size is small and the combined energy is only 340 (weak to moderate). It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting questionable tide conditions.

Monday the 13th is a bit better. The morning drops to 2 feet from the SW, still 14 seconds, but the wind eases a touch to 25 km/h from the ENE. Expect good surf conditions, but it’s still small. The energy is 324.

The real standout comes later. Look at Thursday the 16th. The morning has a clean 2-foot SW swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the energy jumps to 412 (moderate). The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE at 20 km/h. That’s a groundswell hitting a reef break, so it’ll hold shape nicely. The afternoon is also good with a 3-foot SSW swell, 13 seconds, and moderate offshore from the E at 25 km/h. This is your best bet in the first week.

After that, things get messy. There’s a heap of poor surf conditions and marginal calls from Friday the 17th right through to Saturday the 25th of July. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 feet, and the wind is often cross-off or just messy. The energy drops into the 200s and 100s (weak). There’s a brief flicker on Saturday the 25th with a 2-foot S swell, 12 seconds, and light offshore wind from the E at 10 km/h. Expect good surf conditions, but it’s still small.

Then, hold onto your board. The very end of the window, Monday the 27th of July, looks promising. The morning has a 3-foot SW swell with a very long period of 18 seconds, and the energy is 446 (moderate). The wind is a gentle offshore from the ENE at 15 km/h. The afternoon is even better: 2-foot SW, 18 seconds, and the energy jumps to 564 (moderate to strong). The wind is a light breeze from the SSE at 10 km/h, cross-off, keeping it clean. This is your second standout. The period is very long, so this reef break will handle it better than a beach break would. It’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in.

Overall, the best windows are Thursday the 16th and that Monday the 27th. The rest is a lot of small, average stuff, but it’s not a total blank. The reef here is fairly consistent, so it’ll break if there’s any swell. Crowds are often, so expect company.
