Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf isn’t really offering much to get excited about until later in the week. The first solid recommendation kicks off on Thursday afternoon, 13th August, and honestly, you’ll be waiting for the real standout.

Hemorrhoids is the only game in town, and it’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, so it’s got a chance of holding a little swell. The water is sitting at 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.

The first real standout I’d put my money on is Friday afternoon, 14th August. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the SW, with a solid 18-second period. That’s some proper groundswell, and with the energy reading at 1029 (moderate to strong), you’ll feel the push. The wind is offshore from the E at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean and lined up. This is for the experienced crew, though – it’s not a beginner wave.

Then, looking ahead, there’s a promising one further out. Wednesday, 26th August has a morning session with 2 ft from the SW but a very long 20-second period, and the energy is 618 (moderate). The wind is gentle offshore from the E, making for clean conditions. The afternoon bumps up to 3 ft with the same 20-second period and a higher energy of 927. This is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet. The long period means it’ll be better on the reef here than a beach break – expect some nice, grinding lines, but with longer waits between sets.

Don’t expect much else. The rest of the window is mostly small, with periods below 8 seconds or messy winds. There’s a gap of a few days with no real strong recommendations, so don’t be in a rush to paddle out until those Thursday and Friday windows.

Rusty.
