Kailua Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a honest look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—this stretch looks pretty bleak for getting a decent wave.

Right off the bat, we’ve got nothing to get excited about. The first solid recommendation doesn’t pop up, and honestly, looking at the whole 16-day run, I wouldn’t bother paddling out. The entire period is a write-off for any quality surf. We’re looking at a solid two-week gap with absolutely no standout conditions.

The main break on the cards is Kailua Beach. It’s a point break, fairly consistent, but the problem is it’s getting hammered by a persistent onshore and cross-onshore wind out of the ENE. That’s just not gonna produce anything clean. From Thursday morning, July 2nd, right through to Friday, July 17th, the story is the same: poor surf conditions.

The swell is present, ranging from about 4 ft up to 7 ft, mostly out of the ENE or E. The wave energy sits between moderate and strong, with values hitting as high as 471 (combined energy), but it doesn’t matter when the wind is trashing it. The period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so it’s just weak, short-period chop. The best water temp we see is 79° with a tiny anomaly of 0.4°, so that’s pretty normal for this time of year.

Look, the water will be warm, but for a surfer, this is a total dud. The wind never lets up, and the conditions are consistently described as poor. It’s a 0 out of 10 every single time in the data. There’s nothing here that even warrants a peak.

This is just one of those stretches where the forecast is a bust. The area can be fickle, and a blank run like this isn’t entirely unusual. My advice? Save your energy, don’t bother waxing up unless the forecast does a total flip. Keep an eye on it, but for now, this is a hard pass.

Rusty.
