Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Hemorrhoids, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re willing to wait.

The first real window of surf kicks off Saturday the 15th. We’ve got a SW groundswell pushing in at 4ft with a solid 16-second period. The energy reading is moderate at (974). The problem is the wind. It’s cross-off at 19 mph Saturday morning, which will keep things clean-ish but it’s got some juice. The surf is there, but it’s not exactly firing. The water temp is 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves, but the quality is marginal.

Sunday the 16th sees the swell drop slightly to 4ft, still from the SW, period 15 seconds. The energy backs off a touch to (515). The morning is cross-off again, but the afternoon turns more offshore with a fresh breeze. It’s still clean, but again, nothing to write home about.

Monday the 17th, we’re down to 3ft. The period drops to 14 seconds. The morning is clean but small. The afternoon is where it’s at—light SE cross-off, 6 mph, and the conditions are set to be good. It’s a small wave day, though. The energy is weak at (402).

From Tuesday the 18th through to about the 26th, we’re in a long, slow decline. Swell heights hover around 2ft to 3ft. Periods bounce between 14 and 19 seconds. There’s a little bump in period on the 23rd and 24th with 19 and 18 seconds, but the size just isn’t there. Energy readings are mostly in the low to mid 200s to 400s, which is weak to moderate. The winds are generally offshore or cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. It’s a long gap of pretty ordinary surf.

Now, here’s the standout. After that stretch of smallness, things start to look up late in the second week. On Friday the 28th, the morning is magic. We’ve got a NE wind at just 3 mph, glassy conditions, and the swell bumps back up to 3ft from the SW with a 16-second period. The energy jumps to (502). The forecast calls for very good surf conditions. It’s not big, but it’s clean and lined up. That’s your best bet of the entire period.

Then Saturday the 29th keeps the promise going. The morning has 3ft of SW swell, 15-second period, with a light NE cross-off. Energy is up at (654). Still clean, still fun. The afternoon goes glassy again with a slight SE breeze. This is a proper little run of good surf.

Sunday the 30th rounds it out. The swell holds at 3ft, SW direction, 16-second period. ENE wind at 9 mph, gentle offshore and clean. Energy is (565). It’s another very good morning session.

So, overall, the first week is a wash. You’ve got surf, but it’s small and not particularly exciting. The real window is that Friday the 28th through Sunday the 30th. That’s the one to point your board at. It’s not a big swell, but with glassy conditions and clean lines, it’ll be the best the place has to offer in this forecast. Just remember, it’s a week and a half out, so treat it as promising, not a guarantee.

Stay stoked.
