Lahilahi Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks. It's gunna be a slow start, real slow. We got a lot of weak, gutless surf for the first stretch. If you're itchin' to get wet, you might be better off doing some yard work, 'cause it's gonna be a tough paddle for nothing much.

The good news is there's a pulse of proper groundswell on the horizon, but it's a ways out, so we're keeping our fingers crossed it shows up as expected. Here's the rundown.

The first thing you could even call a surf option will be at Lahilahi Point on Monday, August 4th. And even then, it's a fraction of a wave. We're talkin' ankle-biters at about 1 feet on a 12-second SSW swell. The wind will be glassy, which is nice, but the energy is weak. Water temp is about 81°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

The next few days are much of the same. Some glassy moments on Wednesday, but the swell is tiny and just doesn't have any punch. Not worth getting excited about.

Now, hold on to your boardies, 'cause things start to change around Friday, August 8th. The swell stays small, but the period jumps to 18 seconds, which tells us a proper groundswell is rolling in. The energy picks up, and with a light offshore wind, conditions are clean. This is where the fun starts.

That run continues through the weekend and into the next week. The wave faces stay humble, only around 3 feet or so, but there's decent energy behind them and the wind keeps it clean.

The standout window looks to be Wednesday, August 13th and Thursday, August 14th. We're looking at wave heights pushing 4 feet from the south with a long 15-16 second period. The energy is strong, and with light winds, it should be proper clean. This looks like the pick of the bunch for the whole forecast. It's still a week and a half away, so don't book the day off work just yet, but it's the one to watch.

After that, the swell starts to shift to the west. It'll still be rideable, but the quality drops off a bit as we lose that long-period south energy. By the weekend of the 16th, it's around 3 feet of west swell, but it's not as clean and the energy is fading.

The last few days of the outlook go downhill fast. We're looking at rain showers and, come the 19th, a messy cross-onshore wind that's making things choppy. That's a write-off.

So, there's the story. A slow, slow start, but there's a golden window around the 13th and 14th where it should all line up. Be patient, keep an eye on the forecast, and that'll be your time.

Rusty.
