Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down in feet and degrees.

The only game in town is this heavy reef break, and it’s got a bit of a split personality over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid pulse of long-period SW groundswell that’s gonna roll in, but it’s gonna take a few days to get its act together. The water is sittin’ at 84.4°F which is pretty much on the money for this time of year, so no surprises.

The first real chance to get wet is Sunday the 26th, but honestly, it’s a bit of a tease. We’re lookin’ at 4.3ft of SW swell with a 18-second period, but the conditions are a bit marginal, so I’d be holdin’ off. The real action kicks off Monday the 27th. That afternoon is where it gets interesting. The swell bumps up to 4.6ft from the SW, but the period stretches to a massive 19 seconds, and we’ve got a gentle offshore breeze from the East. That’s a recipe for some clean, lined-up waves at Hemorrhoids. The energy is pumpin’ at 2192 (moderate to strong), so this is gonna be a proper session for experienced surfers. If you can only get out once, that’s your window.

Tuesday the 28th morning is still pretty solid with 5.2ft of SW and a clean cross-off breeze, but the wind shifts that afternoon and gets a bit cross-on, makin’ it choppy. Wednesday the 29th afternoon is another standout—the swell drops slightly to 4.6ft, but the wind goes glassy out of the South. That’s a rare treat, and you’ll get some butter-smooth faces. The energy is still around 1033 (moderate).

After that, the swell starts to taper off. Thursday the 30th through the 31st sees the swell droppin’ below 3.9ft, and while the wind stays offshore, the wave energy is weakenin’. From the 1st of August onwards, we’re lookin’ at a slow fade into the 2.0ft range, with a few days of just poor conditions or useless little waves. The wind is often fresh and cross-off, but there’s just not enough push to get excited about. The second week, from about the 6th of August, the swell tries to pick up again with a 2.3ft, 18-second pulse, but the energy is still low and the wind is strong, so it’s a long shot.

The very best of the whole run is that Monday afternoon session on the 27th, with the glassy Wednesday afternoon on the 29th as a close second. This spot is a reef, so it’s not for beginners, and with the crowds listed as “often,” expect some company out there. The long period on that Monday is gonna make for some proper lines, but it might break a bit straight at times, so pick your corner.

Stay frothy.
