Henrys Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Henrys has in store for the next couple of weeks. This is a consistent reef break that’s wide open to swell, and you’ll usually have plenty of company – so expect a few other surfers out. The water’s sitting at 86.4°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We start off with small, forgettable surf from the 18th through the 22nd. Swell from the SSW or SW around 1‑2ft, periods mostly 12 seconds, and cross‑offshore winds keep the surface clean but there’s hardly any power – combined swell energy under 250 most of that time. Not worth rushing out.

Things perk up on Sunday the 19th afternoon when the wind goes glassy and a 3ft SW swell rolls in at 12 seconds, energy 438. That’s a nice session. Monday the 20th morning holds similar: 2.5ft SW at 16 seconds, cross‑off breeze, still small but the longer period helps.

By Wednesday the 22nd afternoon we get a proper offshore wind (ENE 20 km/h) and a 2ft SW swell at 13 seconds – clean but tiny. Thursday the 23rd afternoon throws a curveball: a 1.5ft SW swell with a massive 26‑second period, gentle offshore, energy 279. That long period will make the reef reel, but it’s knee‑high.

From Friday the 24th the energy ramps up. The 24th afternoon has a 2ft SW swell at 24 seconds, energy 585, light cross‑off – very clean and fun. Saturday the 25th morning is even better: 3ft SW at 21 seconds, energy 807, light cross‑off. Long lulls, easy paddling, and the reef will shape them nicely.

But the real standouts are the three mornings at the end of July. Sunday the 27th morning – 4ft SW at 16 seconds, light offshore ENE 10 km/h, energy 1467. Excellent but getting big for the reef – only for experienced surfers. Monday the 28th morning – 6
