Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lahaina Breakwall/Harbour over the next 16 days.
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s run it down in feet and miles per hour.
We’re looking at a long stretch of small, super clean surf on this coast. Don’t expect to wear out your fins. The waves are tiny, but the wind is doing us a solid.
The whole show is at Lahaina Breakwall/Harbour, a reef break that’s consistently catching these long-period, knee-high pulses from the SW and WSW. Trade winds blow straight offshore for almost the whole run, so the surface is gonna be glassy or just lightly textured.
We start Saturday 11 July with 1ft swell out of the SW, but with a ridiculously long 18-second period. Wind is offshore from the ENE at 15 km/h, and the combined energy is weak at 132. It’s surfable, but it’s not exciting. Sunday the 12th is the same story: 2ft, SW, 16-second period, clean and tiny.
Wednesday 15 July is the best of a small bunch. Swell bumps to 2ft from the WNW, period drops to 15 seconds, and the combined energy hits 336 – moderate. Wind is light and cross-off in the morning, then gentle offshore in the afternoon. It’s the cleanest, most energetic day of the whole run, but still, it’s 2ft.
Thursday 16 July holds around 2ft to 2ft from the W, energy dropping to 196. Then it’s all downhill. By Sunday 19 July, we’re down to 1.0ft with combined energy at 51 – that’s poor. That weak trend sticks around through the next week.
There’s a little uptick on Friday 24 July: 1ft, SW, 17-second period, energy at 124. Still a very small wave with an offshore wind.
Water temp is about normal here for July. For a spot that can get a crowd, you’ll be fine on space because the waves are so small nobody’s hustling.
If you’re dying to get wet, Wednesday 15 July is your pick: 2ft, clean, a little push. Friday 24 July is the other faint highlight. Nothing is going to blow your mind. For the second week out, expect it to stay small and weak.
Keep it real,
Rusty
