Kua Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right on, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for the Kua Bay area over the next couple of weeks.

Alright, straight up, we’ve got a flat spell coming in. The first suggestion of any surf shows up on the 19th, but it's tiny—just 1ft of swell from the WNW. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The combined energy is a measly 29, so we're talking weak sauce. Winds are cross and bumpy, and the wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." Not worth paddling out for.

That little blip fades fast, and from the 20th of July right through to the end of the month, we're looking at a long stretch of nothing. Day after day of zeros. It's a solid gap of about a week and a half with no surf on offer. The conditions are often glassy or clean, but with no waves to ride, that doesn't mean a thing.

Finally, on the 30th of July, we see a faint pulse. A 1ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 18 seconds shows up in the afternoon. The combined energy is only 49, so it's still weak. The 18-second period is a proper groundswell, but at that size, it's barely going to stand up, even with the wind going light and variable. It's a tease, not a session.

Then, into the first week of August, we get a couple of small, short-period swells. On the 2nd of August, there's 1ft from the SW at a short 9 seconds, energy around 31. Again, light winds, but the period is too short and the size too small for any real quality. The 3rd of August offers a 1ft W swell with a better 13-second period, but the energy is still low (32), and the winds are cross.

Honestly, there's no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a bust for surfing. The best we get is tiny, weak swells that won't peel. It's a dry spell, plain and simple. For a spot like Kua Bay, a blank run like this is pretty normal during the summer lull. Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
