Hiliduha Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this whole 16-day stretch – Hiliduha – an exposed, advanced reef break.

The water is sitting at a toasty 86°, which is about one degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the thicker wetsuit at home.

Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. The charts are showing swell, but the conditions are messy – mostly cross-on winds and a bunch of weather. The first real standout comes on Thursday the 10th. The morning glass-off is the key here – we’re talking clean, glassy conditions with a solid 5ft of SW groundswell pumping in at a long 16-second period. That’s proper, lined-up energy. This is the moment to make your move.

Friday the 11th morning is another beauty. Similar story – glassy conditions, a touch more size at 5ft from the SW, and that same long period giving the waves some grunt. These two mornings are your best bets early on.

Then we get a bit of a lull with messy conditions and onshore winds until Sunday the 13th. That morning and afternoon both look like winners: glassy, clean, and pumping 7ft SW swell. That’s serious, double-overhead-plus surf with real power. This is only for experienced surfers at this size.

There’s a lot of so-so days in between, with wind and choppy conditions. But looking further ahead to Monday the 21st, the morning session looks excellent again: glassy with a clean 5ft SW swell and plenty of energy behind it. And then Tuesday the 22nd – wow. The morning is glassy with a super clean 4ft from the SW but with a ridiculous 21-second period. That’s a deep ocean groundswell that will hold up beautifully on the reef. The afternoon then jumps to a clean 5ft at 19 seconds – another cracker session. These are the true long-range standouts, but as always, you gotta keep an eye on the weather leading in.

Overall, the best advice? Hit the glassy mornings on Thursday the 10th, Friday the 11th, and especially Sunday the 13th. And if you’re patient, the 21st and 22nd look like they could be the best of the whole run.

Rusty out.
