Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for this spot over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of clean, surfable days ahead. The water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first few days kick off with a moderate offshore breeze, making for some tidy conditions.

Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is looking good. Swell is a consistent 3ft from the SW, with a 13-second period, which gives it a nice long peak. The wind is offshore out of the ENE, so the face will be clean. Energy is moderate (322), and it’s a solid start to the week.

Wednesday morning, the 2nd, the swell drops a touch to 2ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind is cross-off, and the water is glassy. The combined energy is up to 471, so there’s a bit more punch in the water despite the smaller size. This is a long-period swell, which tends to line up best on a reef like this one, so it should offer some nice, walled-up waves.

Thursday morning, the 3rd, is another clean one with 3ft SW swell, 16-second period, and offshore wind. But the standout is Thursday afternoon. The wind switches to glassy, the swell bumps up to 3ft, and the energy jumps to 718. That’s a solid moderate level of energy, and the conditions are described as ‘very good’. This is a high point in the first week.

Now, Friday the 4th is where it gets serious. The swell pushes to 4ft in the morning, with a 17-second period, and the energy is 1035, which is strong. The wind is a gentle cross-off, so it’s clean. The afternoon is even better: 4ft, glassy, energy at 1169. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The waves will have a heap of power and the sets will be clean. This is one of the true standouts of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 5th keeps the size up. The morning is 5ft with a 16-second period, cross-off wind, and energy at 1189. The afternoon is the pick of the day: 5ft, 16-second period, gentle offshore wind out of the east, and energy at 1256. That’s a lot of power. At this size, it’s getting into the expert territory, but the conditions are offshore and clean. A serious session for the experienced crew.

Sunday the 6th sees the swell back down to 4ft, but the afternoon is glassy with a 14-second period. Energy is still a solid 658. It’s a good day, just not as big as the previous two.

Monday the 7th drops further to 3ft, but the afternoon turns glassy with a 14-second period. Energy holds at 523. A clean, lower-key option.

Tuesday the 8th is a bit smaller again at 3ft, but the afternoon brings a 17-second period and offshore wind, with energy at 524. It’s clean and lined up.

Wednesday the 9th has a bit of a fresh breeze in the afternoon, but the swell is 3ft with a 16-second period and offshore wind. It’s still surfable, but the wind is a bit stronger.

Now, look ahead to Thursday the 10th. The morning is a big standout for the second week. Swell is 4ft, 18-second period, offshore wind, and energy at 1336. That’s a very strong energy reading. This is a promising long-range call, but as always, keep an eye on it as it gets closer.

The rest of the second week is a mix of clean mornings and afternoons, with swell sizes from 2ft to 4ft, and periods staying in the 13-19 second range. The energy values are moderate to low, but the wind is generally favourable. Friday the 11th afternoon has a gentle offshore and 4ft swell, and Saturday the 12th afternoon has a moderate offshore with 3ft.

There are no gaps of several days with no recommendation here. The surf is on offer for the whole 16 days, but the real standouts are Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, with a strong long-range candidate on Thursday the 10th.

This is a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the S swell, so it handles these conditions well. It can get crowded at times, so keep that in mind when you’re out there.

Stay safe, pick your sets, and enjoy the glassy windows.
