Hey, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what’s coming down the line. There’s a bit of a dry spell right at the start, but once the swell shows up, we’ve got a good stretch of waves ahead.
The first proper surf we see is on Monday, July 6th at Hiliduha (reef). We're starting off with glassy conditions and a long-period SW groundswell. Water temp is about 86°, which is normal for this time of year. Monday morning has a clean 3ft swell with a 16-second period and combined energy of 764 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph. It's not big, but it’ll look perfect. This is a reef, so that long period will give it some real shape.
Tuesday the 7th is another good morning. Swell picks up to 4ft from the SW, still a long 16-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 3 mph. Combined energy is 709 (moderate). Clean and very surfable.
The standout for the first week is Wednesday, July 8th. Swell builds to 5ft from the SSW, 15-second period, and combined energy jumps to 1130 (moderate to strong). In the morning, we’ve got a 9 mph NE cross-offshore wind keeping it clean. By the afternoon, it’s a touch bigger at 5ft, with a glassy 3 mph ENE cross-offshore and energy at 1265. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Solid size and clean.
Friday the 10th afternoon is another one to watch. The wind goes glassy from the SSE at 3 mph, with a strong 5ft SW swell and 15-second period. Energy is 1222 (strong). A proper afternoon session.
Into the second week, conditions get a bit more marginal but there are still some gems. Saturday, July 18th morning has a glassy 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, and calm winds. Energy is 849 (moderate).
The absolute standout of the whole forecast is Sunday, July 19th morning. We’re looking at a 6ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and combined energy of 1303 (strong). The wind is dead calm and glassy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, powerful and clean.
Monday, July 20th and Tuesday, July 21st mornings both offer glassy conditions with 5ft SSW swells, keeping that clean run going.
So, the two to circle on the calendar: Wednesday, July 8th for the combo of size and quality, and Sunday, July 19th for the biggest, cleanest swell of the batch. Go get it.

Information about the Hiliduha Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hiliduha provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hiliduha can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hiliduha surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hiliduha) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hiliduha may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
