Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let’s see what’s cookin’ at Hemorrhoids. This ain't gonna be a wild ride, but there are a few moments where the ocean might just give us a little somethin’ special. The water temp is sittin’ around 85°F – that’s a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be feelin’ that bathwater vibe right off the bat.

We kick things off Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th with some clean, small swell around 2ft to 3ft from the SW, but the wind is honkin’ at 19 mph from the ENE, so it’s mostly cross-off or off. The wave energy is moderate (380), but honestly, the conditions are just poor to marginal. Not worth paddlin’ out for.

Tuesday the 11th starts the same, but hold up – Tuesday afternoon looks interesting. We’ve got a 3ft SW swell with a super long period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 707 – that’s solid, moderate-to-strong energy. The wind switches to offshore at 16 mph, and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." That’s the first real standout. That long period groundswell will wrap in nicely on this reef, but keep in mind, with period that long, the sets might be a bit spread out. Still, it’ll be clean and punchy.

From Wednesday the 12th through to Friday the 14th, we get a mix of morning cross-off and afternoon offshore winds, but the swell stays between 2ft and 3ft. The energy is moderate (285 to 793), but the conditions are mostly marginal. Friday afternoon has a little more juice with 3ft and 18-second period, energy at 793, and offshore wind – that’s a decent call for a late session.

Saturday the 15th sees the swell nudge up to 4ft from the SW, period at 16 seconds, energy in the 790 to 819 range. Offshore wind in the afternoon at 22 mph is strong but clean. Still, the guidance says marginal. It’s rideable, but not the best.

Sunday the 16th through Monday the 17th drops back to 3ft to 4ft, with moderate energy and offshore winds. The conditions stay marginal. The second week starts to flatten a bit.

Tuesday the 18th afternoon shows some promise: 3ft, 15-second period, offshore wind, and "expect good surf conditions" with a score to match. Energy is 479. Not huge, but clean.

Wednesday the 19th morning is a gem – 3ft, 15-second period, light breeze at 6 mph from the NE, cross-off, and the conditions are clean. That’s a nice little window for a glassy session. The afternoon turns poor again.

Thursday the 20th brings a change: swell drops to 3ft from the SSW, period short at 10 seconds, but the wind is light – offshore in the morning at 9 mph, and by afternoon it’s nearly glassy at 3 mph from the SE. Conditions are good both sessions. Energy is moderate (347 and 309). That short period means less punch, but clean.

Friday the 21st fades with 2ft to 3ft and fresh offshore winds – marginal.

Now, the real standout in the second week: Saturday the 22nd morning. We’ve got only 1ft of swell, but the period is a massive 21 seconds from the SW, energy at 294. That’s a long-period groundswell – it’ll be super clean with offshore wind at 16 mph. "Expect good surf conditions." That’s a sneaky good session for the patient surfer. The afternoon bumps to 2ft, same 21-second period, energy at 497, still offshore. Worth a look.

Sunday the 23rd afternoon is another highlight: 3ft, 19-second period from the SW, offshore wind at 16 mph, energy at 564, and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." That’s the best of the long-range outlook.

After that, Monday the 24th fades back to 2ft to 3ft with 18-second period, marginal conditions.

Bottom line: Tuesday the 11th afternoon is your best early bet – clean, strong energy, and long-period swell. For the second week, keep an eye on Sunday the 23rd afternoon – that’s the one to pencil in. Crowds at Hemorrhoids can be a factor sometimes, so get out there early if you can.
