Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, let’s get into it. The only spot that’s coming through for us this forecast period is Hemorrhoids, and it’s going to be a bit of a mixed bag. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, and it can get crowded, so keep that in mind. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We start off this Saturday, August 29th, with a bit of a tease. The morning is clean with a 4 ft swell from the southwest, but the conditions are a bit marginal. The afternoon though, that’s where it’s at. The swell bumps up to 5 ft, still out of the southwest, with a very long 16-second period and a solid offshore wind. The energy is moderate (1150), and it’s lining up for excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is a standout—one of the best windows in the whole outlook.

Sunday the 30th is solid too. The morning is clean with 5 ft swell, but the wind is cross-offshore. The afternoon is the better call again, with a pure offshore wind, 4 ft swell, and clean conditions. The swell period drops a bit to 14 seconds, but it’s still good.

Monday the 31st has smaller surf, with 4 ft in the morning and 3 ft in the afternoon. The wind stays offshore in the afternoon, keeping things clean, but the energy is dropping. Tuesday and Wednesday see the swell fading further, down to 2 ft to 3 ft, with middling energy. Wednesday afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind, so that’s a skip.

There’s a bit of a lull from Wednesday night through Thursday morning, but Thursday afternoon, September 3rd, picks up again with a 3 ft swell, a 16-second period, and light, clean winds. The energy is moderate (567), and it’s a good call.

Then we get another spike. Friday, September 4th, is promising. The morning has 4 ft swell with good energy (1062), and the afternoon is a standout: 4 ft, 17-second period, gentle offshore wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Saturday, September 5th, is even better. The morning has 5 ft swell with a moderate offshore wind, and the afternoon is glassy with a light offshore breeze and the same 5 ft swell. That’s another top-tier window.

After that, the swell slowly fades through the second week. Sunday the 6th is still good, with 5 ft swell and offshore winds in the morning, but the afternoon gets a bit cross. Monday the 7th has some storm risk, but the morning is clean with 4 ft swell. The rest of the week is a mix of smaller clean surf, with a few glimmers of longer-period swells, like on the 8th and 9th, but the size is down around 3 ft to 3 ft.

The best of the late period is Thursday, September 10th afternoon, with a 4 ft, 17-second swell, light offshore winds, and excellent energy (1262). Friday the 11th also has a glassy afternoon with 4 ft swell and a 16-second period—that’s a nice one. After that, it fades into small, clean surf around 2 ft to 3 ft through to the 13th.

So, the real standouts are the Saturday afternoons on August 29th and September 5th, plus Friday afternoon September 4th and Thursday afternoon September 10th. If you’re an experienced surfer, those are your windows. The rest is smaller, but still clean and rideable.
