Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for our little slice of paradise. The immediate forecast is a bit of a slow burn, but there's some promise on the horizon.

Right now, we’re looking at a few days of smaller, short-period swell. The water’s sitting at a warm 84.7°, which is a touch above the norm for this time of year, so the boardies are definitely the go. It’s not gonna be pumping, so don’t expect any heroics. The breeze is up a bit, creating some bumpy conditions. We’ll be seeing rides around 1.6ft to 3ft from the SW with periods under 14 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit messy and not all that powerful. The energy is weak to moderate, with the combined swell energy sitting in the low to mid 300s.

Come Saturday the 9th, those winds turn more offshore, which is a good sign. The swell ticks up slightly, still small but cleaner. It’s not going to be epic, but there’ll be a few fun ones for the log. By Monday the 11th and Tuesday the 12th, the wind backs off a bit, and we start seeing some longer-period energy sneaking in. The Tuesday afternoon session looks like the first real standout, with the swell picking up to 2.6ft and the period jumping to 18 seconds. That’s some proper groundswell energy, which is showing in the combined energy of 588. This is a point where the reef setup at `Hemorrhoids` will really shine. It's a fairly consistent spot, though crowds are often there, so get out early. This is a clean, moderate offshore and should be worth the paddle.

The surf stays rideable into the middle of the week but then drops off a little before the next pulse. Now, looking further out, we’ve got a more significant swell on the horizon. Around Friday the 14th, the swell starts to build. By Saturday the 15th, we're looking at 3.9ft of SW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy jumps into the 800s, which is a solid, strong pulse. This is the other standout on the board. It’s going to be a proper sized, powerful swell. The winds are offshore and fresh, so it should be holding up well.

This is one for the more experienced surfers, as anything over 5ft is pushing it for beginners, and this is getting close to that mark. The long 16-second period means it’s a proper groundswell, and that’s perfect for a reef setup like this. Later in the day on the 20th, there’s another very good window, with moderate offshore winds and a solid 3.3ft SW swell showing in the 517 combined energy. It’s another one to keep an eye on.

There are some days with poor surf in between, particularly the 17th and 18th. The swell is there, but the conditions look choppy and cross-off, so the quality will be down. The long-range stuff is always a bit more of a gamble, but the signs are there for a decent week.

The run from the 14th to the 16th looks like the pick of the bunch, and that Tuesday the 11th session is the one to get wet for before that. Stay stoked.
