Hemorrhoids Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk about Hemorrhoids. It's a reef break, likes a south swell.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. There's a decent run of surf coming through, but it ain't gonna be massive and it won't be perfect every day. The wind is gonna be a constant thing, blowing from the east-northeast pretty much the whole time, which is offshore here, so that's a solid positive. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

The energy really kicks off on Tuesday the 7th, with a long-period groundswell from the SW, a solid 18 seconds between waves. The combined energy is strong at 1253. Waves around 4ft to 5ft, and that fresh offshore wind is gonna groom it into shape. The sets will be clean and lined up.

Wednesday the 8th keeps it going, afternoon looking especially good. Swell is still solid from the SW, 4ft, period dropping a touch to 16 seconds, but the wind swings to a moderate offshore, and the energy is at 945. The waves will be clean and have some push.

Thursday the 9th, it drops off a bit. Swell sizes back down under 3ft, and the energy level falls to 515. Still offshore winds, but the quality ain't what it was earlier in the week. Things get pretty small by Friday the 10th with wave energy down to 376. We're into marginal conditions through the weekend and into the following week.

Now, looking at the second week, the standout in the whole forecast has to be Tuesday the 21st and the morning of Wednesday the 22nd. On the 21st, the swell is from the SSW with a period of 16 seconds, 3ft, and a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy jumps up to 630. That's a nice clean pulse. Then Wednesday the 22nd morning keeps it clean with a moderate offshore and 3ft SW swell. It's not huge, but with that offshore wind, the reef will be working nicely.

To be honest though, the best on offer is the opening few days. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th have the most size, the most energy, and the cleanest conditions. Just watch the tide, it can be fickle here. Given the swell is over 5ft on Tuesday afternoon, and it's a reef break, that's one for the experienced crew, not for beginners. The long-period swell is best suited to this reef setup, so the shape should be good.

So, there's a bit of a lull around the 10th and 11th, but don't write it off completely. The forecast can change. The main run is early on, and then that pulse late in the second week.

Rusty.
