Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at Hemorrhoids over the next couple weeks. There’s surf pretty much the whole run, no big dry spells, just a few days where it’s a bit shy.

Starting Monday August 31st, we’ve got a clean 3.6ft SW swell with a 13-second period, cross-off wind from the ENE at 9 mph. Water’s sitting at 84.6°F, about average for the season. Energy’s moderate (474). Not a standout, but a solid start. By afternoon, it goes glassy out of the SW at 3 mph, waves stay around 3.3ft from the SW—clean and inviting.

Tuesday September 1st keeps it going with a 2.9ft SW swell, 13-second period, and a proper offshore ENE wind at 12 mph in the morning. Clean and lined up. Afternoon lightens with a south cross-off at 3 mph, still clean.

Wednesday the 2nd sees the swell drop to 2.0ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds—groundswell, real shape. Morning cross-off from the NE at 6 mph, clean. Afternoon turns onshore from the WSW at 9 mph, energy reads higher (504) but it’s messy. Skip it.

Thursday the 3rd: morning brings a clean 2.3ft SW swell (16 seconds) with light NE cross-off at 6 mph. Then Thursday afternoon gets glassy, a 2.9ft SW swell with 16 seconds, and energy jumps to 779 (strong). Very good, clean, and punchy.

Friday September 4th is a true standout. Morning delivers a 3.9ft SW swell, 17-second period, and clean cross-off from the ENE at 6 mph. Energy’s pumping at 1035 (strong to very strong). This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction matches the optimum S direction for the break. The afternoon holds at 4.3ft but gets onshore from the WSW—hit it early.

Saturday the 5th keeps the goods coming. Morning sees a 5.2ft SW swell (16 seconds), energy at 1333 (very strong), and a NE cross-off at 9 mph. Excellent, hollow, only for the well-practiced. Afternoon holds at 4.9ft with a cross-off from the SSE, still clean. Watch for thunderstorms.

Sunday the 6th backs off with a 4.3ft SW swell (15 seconds), gentle offshore from the ENE at 9 mph in the morning. Clean, good, but not the standout. Afternoon goes onshore from the west at 3 mph—go early.

Monday the 7th: morning brings a 3.3ft SW swell (14 seconds), light ENE cross-off, clean. Afternoon gets poor with onshore wind—skip it.

Tuesday the 8th offers a small but clean 2.0ft SW swell with 18-second period and moderate offshore ENE wind at 12 mph. Small but super clean. Afternoon same size with 15 mph offshore—blowy but surfable.

Wednesday the 9th: morning 2.6ft SW swell (16 seconds), moderate offshore ENE, clean. Afternoon is a gem—2.9ft SW, 16 seconds, light offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, energy climbing to 635. Really clean, fun.

Thursday September 10th is another major standout. Morning brings a 3.9ft SW swell (17 seconds), gentle offshore ENE at 9 mph, energy at 1186 (very strong). Excellent, powerful, clean. Afternoon matches it with a 3.6ft SW swell, glassy calm from the west at 3 mph, energy at 1242. For experienced surfers only, this is the best of the run—clean, lined up, plenty of punch.

Friday the 11th sees a 3.9ft SW swell (16 seconds), NE cross-off at 9 mph, clean and good. Afternoon goes glassy again from the SW at 3 mph, with a 3.6ft, 15-second swell. Clean and pleasant.

Saturday the 12th: morning 2.9ft SW swell (14 seconds), moderate offshore ENE at 12 mph, clean. Afternoon a lighter 2.6ft from the SW with ESE cross-off, still clean.
