Hilisataro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the horizon for Hilisataro, a reef break that’s strictly for the advanced crew. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The first real action kicks off Friday afternoon, August 7th. We’re looking at a 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 3170, and with glassy conditions and a light W wind, this is going to be some serious, clean, powerful surf. This is the standout of the whole window – it’s big, it’s clean, and it’s going to be a freight train on that reef. Only for the experienced though, as it’s well over 5ft.

Saturday the 8th keeps that energy rolling. Morning is dead calm with 7ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, and the energy is still massive at 2578. The afternoon stays glassy with a slight W breeze, dropping just a touch to 7ft. This is world-class stuff.

Sunday morning the 9th is still excellent – 6ft SSW, glassy, clear skies. But watch out, the afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on wind, which will mess up the surface a bit. Monday the 10th is a mixed bag; the morning is marginal with onshore wind, but Monday afternoon is a stunner – a 4ft SSW swell with a ludicrous 22-second period, glassy conditions, and the energy is still high at 2097. That long period will make for super long, drawn-out lines on the reef.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are a bit onshore at times, but Wednesday morning and afternoon are both glassy with clean 6ft and 6ft SSW swells. Thursday the 13th sees a drop to 5ft S swell, but it’s glassy in the morning. Friday the 14th is another big one: 8ft SSW at 16 seconds, dead calm in the morning, then glassy in the afternoon with a 7ft S swell. The energy is 2775 and 2441 respectively – this is another top-tier session.

The second week starts to get a little more mixed. From Saturday the 15th through Monday the 17th, the swell drops from 6ft down to 3ft. The energy drops too, down to 564 by Monday morning. It’s still glassy at times, but much smaller. Tuesday the 18th brings a new pulse of 7ft SSW swell, but with onshore and cross-on winds, it’s not looking as clean. Wednesday the 19th is the real wildcard – a 8ft SSW swell, and while the morning has cross-on winds, the afternoon is dead calm and glassy with a massive 4075 energy. That’s another expert-only session if it lines up, but it’s a long way out so don’t lock it in just yet. Thursday the 20th holds that 8ft SW swell with glassy conditions both morning and afternoon – promising. The rest of the week into the 22nd is on the marginal side with onshore breezes, but the swell sticks around at 7ft to 8ft.

Overall, the absolute best sessions are Friday the 7th and the morning of Saturday the 8th. That’s the top of the pile – big, clean, and powerful. The run from the 7th to the 14th is packed with quality.

Rusty.
