Kaituna Cut Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya how it's lookin' out there. This is Rusty, and I've been watchin' the charts for Kaituna Cut. The next two weeks are a bit of a slow burn, but there's a real cracker of a session lined up if you're patient.

Right now, we're in a flat spell that drags on for a good few days. The water temp is sittin' around 57°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year, but nothin' too wild.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 25th of July. The morning will see a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, with a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 246, and it's clean. By the afternoon, the wind swings to a solid offshore from the SW at 16 mph, with the swell droppin' slightly to 4ft. It's still clean, and the energy is still moderate at 228. It's not gonna blow your mind, but it's the first proper surfable day after a long lull.

Then we hit a quiet patch again until the very end of the month. The standout is Friday the 31st of July. The morning session is the best on offer. We're looking at a solid 8ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light offshore from the SSW, so it'll be clean. The combined energy is strong at 862. Now, this one is for the experienced crew only – at 8ft, it's too big for beginners. The swell is a bit short-period, so it'll be punchy, but with that offshore wind, it'll hold up nicely. The afternoon is a bit of a question mark with a cross-on breeze, so hit the early morning. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.

The first of August keeps the party goin'. Saturday morning, 1st of August, serves up another clean one with a 7ft NNW swell, light offshore wind, and strong energy at 647. The afternoon is similar, with a 8ft swell and a cross-off breeze, energy at 661. This is still expert territory, but it's a solid weekend.

Things ease off into Sunday the 2nd of August, with 5ft swell and clean conditions. That's a bit more manageable for a strong intermediate. After that, the swell drops off into the flat zone again for the rest of the window.

So, the standout is undeniably the morning of Friday the 31st of July. For the rest of the first week, it's a waiting game. Don't bother paddling out before the 25th. The forecast is solid for that late-July spike, and the long-range stuff for the first of August looks promising too, but you know how that goes.

Rusty.
