The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s ahead for Laniakea Reef and Holtons.
To be honest, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and frustrating. The swell is small and the wind is mostly a cross-offshore breeze. The water temp is sitting at 81°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The best we’ve got in this whole run is Saturday the 12th of September. Saturday morning we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SW, with light east winds at 9 mph making for clean conditions. The wave energy is moderate (198). It won’t blow you away, but it’s the pick of a pretty weak bunch. Saturday afternoon nudges up a little to 3ft from the NE, still with light easterly winds. That’s about as good as it gets.
Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th stay small, around 3ft, with cross-off winds and only moderate energy. Tuesday the 15th morning sees a longer-period SW swell of 2ft with a 20-second period—very long period groundswell. That’s interesting for a reef setup like this, but the energy is moderate (240) and winds are 12 mph cross-off. Not terrible, but not going to light the world on fire.
After that, from Wednesday the 16th right through to Friday the 25th of September, we hit a major lull. Swell drops below 2ft, winds are moderate to fresh cross-off, and wave energy is weak—most days under 100. It’s poor conditions for surfing.
There’s a flicker on Tuesday the 22nd of September afternoon, with 2ft from the NNW at 13 seconds and moderate energy (203). It’s marginal but surfable. The following Wednesday the 23rd morning is similar, 2ft from the NNW with light east winds. Not a standout, but if you’re desperate, it’s something.
The only real head-turner shows up on Saturday the 27th of September morning: a 4ft N swell, 11-second period, strong energy (658). That’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. But the wind is 16 mph cross-off, and the conditions are still flagged as marginal. If it cleans up, that session might be worth paddling out for.
No other spot in this region is worth chasing. The best bet is Saturday the 12th for a clean, small wave session. Keep an eye on the 27th, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
