Kua Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you – looking at the next couple of weeks, it's gonna be a waiting game. The ocean is going to be pretty quiet for a while, and we're not looking at any kind of proper swell on the horizon. But that doesn't mean we're completely shut down. There’s always a chance things will perk up, and as the days go by, there are a few little pulses of energy that might just put a smile on your face.

We start off with a real flat spell. From Wednesday the 5th right through the middle of next week, it's basically unsurfable. We're talking tiny dribbles of waves, with the swell hanging around a meager `0.7ft` to `1ft`. The wind is mostly light and cross-shore, which keeps the surface clean-ish, but there just isn't enough power in the water to do anything. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting below `35` for most of this period. It's the kind of time you'd spend fixing your fins or checking your wax, not paddling out.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 15th. The swell starts to build a touch, reaching `2ft` to `2ft` from the west. The period stretches out to a very long 15 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. That long period means the energy is there, but it also means it might be a bit too lined-up for the beach breaks, making it a better bet for the points and reefs. The energy levels jump into the moderate range, with readings around `161`. The wind is light, and while it's cross-shore, it's not too messy. It's still small, but it's the most interesting we've seen.

This pattern holds through Sunday the 16th and into Monday the 17th. The swell stays around `2ft` with that long-period west energy. The winds remain light, and there’s a window on Monday afternoon with a clean, cross-off breeze that could make things feel a bit more organized. Look, we're not talking barrels, but for a summer session on a longboard, it could be worth a look. The energy is still moderate, around `140-142`. It's the high point of the whole forecast, but it's still a far cry from epic.

After that, it fades again. The swell drops back to `2ft` and the energy weakens through the following week. There’s another brief pulse on Wednesday the 19th with energy around `142` and a glassy afternoon, but the swell remains small and the period shortens. It’s just a sign that the ocean is still breathing, but it’s not going to offer up anything memorable.

So, in a nutshell, keep your expectations low. The standout days are the 15th, 16th, and 17th, and even then, it's for the small-wave crew. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy there. It's a quiet stretch, but as we all know, that can change. Keep an eye on the horizon.
