Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the outlook for Hemorrhoids.

First up, the water is sitting at 85°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. Nothing crazy, just a little above average.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s a small window of surfable waves early on. Monday morning the 3rd of August is looking like the best bet early on. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell rolling in from the SW with a period of 14 seconds, and the wind is light from the NE. The combined energy is moderate (320), and it’s shaping up for some clean, fun little waves. This is a reef setup, so it’ll handle that long period groundswell well.

Tuesday morning the 4th of August is also worth a look. The swell drops to 2ft from the SW, but the wind goes offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, making for clean conditions. It’s small, but it’ll be tidy.

Now, after that, things get a bit ordinary for a stretch. From Wednesday the 5th right through to the end of the first week, we’ve got a mix of cross-offshore winds and moderate breezes, with the swell staying small. The energy is weak to moderate (118 to 188), and the quality just isn’t there for a proper recommendation. You’d be fighting for a marginal wave.

The second week opens up a little more interesting. Saturday the 15th of August shows a spike in swell energy. The morning has a 4ft SW swell with a period of 17 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1064. The wind is cross-offshore from the ENE, so it won’t be glassy, but there’s a lot of water moving. The period is long, so the reef will be the place to be. It’s a standout for size, but it’s likely to be a bit raw with the wind. That’s one to keep an eye on.

Through the rest of the second week, the swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft, with the wind mostly blowing offshore or cross-offshore. The energy stays moderate (225 to 639), but the conditions are never quite clean enough to call it a classic. Friday the 14th of August afternoon has a 3ft SW swell with a 18-second period and fresh offshore wind, so it’s worth a paddle if you’re desperate, but it’s not a standout.

The best session on offer? I’d put my money on that Monday morning the 3rd of August for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves, and Saturday the 15th of August morning for the biggest push of swell, even if it’s a bit wind-affected.

Rusty.
