Alright, let's look at what's coming up for Kewalos over the next 16 days. Honestly, it's a tough stretch. I've scanned the charts and there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is not the optimum direction for this reef – Kewalos really wants it from SSE to shine. The wind is stuck in a cross-off pattern from the ENE at 15-25 mph, which might keep the surface clean but it's not helping the wave shape. Wave heights stick around 5 to 8 ft most days, but the period is short – 6 to 8 seconds – so it's weak, lumpy stuff. The combined energy sits between 400 and 900 (moderate) but poorly directed. Water temperature is about 80°F, average for this time of year with a tiny +0.9°F anomaly, so nothing unusual there. There's a brief window around July 13 where a longer period SW groundswell shows up at 3 ft and 15 seconds, but the wind is still cross-off and the score is still marginal at best. After that, it's back to short-period ENE slop. No standouts, no days I'd call good. Even though Kewalos is a consistent break, the conditions are against it – a real bummer for a spot that usually handles trade wind swell better when the direction lines up. If you're desperate, maybe check the early mornings on July 8 or 10 when the forecast says "marginal" but honestly, it's a long shot. Otherwise, this is a forgettable 16 days.

A general guide to surfing at Kewalos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kewalos 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 (Kewalos) 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 Kewalos 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.
