Hulihee Palace Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Hulihee Palace over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it's looking pretty quiet. The first few days are flat and not worth paddling out for. We've got a gap with no real surf action from now all the way through the weekend and into early next week. It’s not until Tuesday the 15th that things start to show a little pulse. The water temp here is about average for this time of year, nothing wild. The best window really shapes up from mid-week onwards.

Tuesday the 15th afternoon is where we get a little glimmer. Swell is small, around 2ft from the SSW, but it’s a clean glassy window and that period is a massive 19 seconds – proper long-period groundswell making up the combined energy (296). That's weak energy, but for a reef setup like Hulihee, that long period can really bring the wave to life. It’s a small wave, but clean.

Now, the real standout is Thursday the 17th afternoon. Same vibe – glassy conditions, a 2ft SSW swell but with a longer period of 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 394, still moderate but feeling punchy for the size. Wind is glass, so you're looking at some silky little walls. This is the best on offer for this stretch.

And then we get to Friday the 18th afternoon. This is the absolute highlight. Swell bumps up to 2ft from the SW, 17-second period, and glassy offshore wind. The combined energy reads 524 – moderate energy and the best of the whole run. That’s where you want to be. It’s a small day, but for Hulihee in this window, that’s as good as it gets. Expect clean, lined-up waves.

After that, the swell drops back and the wind starts to get a bit messy from the weekend onwards. The 23rd and 24th see a small pulse of long-period SSW energy (296-325) but it's inconsistent and the wind isn't as clean. Nothing beats that Friday the 18th.

Stay patient, get on that Friday afternoon glass-off if you can.

Rusty.
