The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Laniakea Reef and Holtons.
Honestly, it’s a slow start. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and cross-off winds that are not doing us any favours. For the first week and a half, the swell is just too small and the energy is too low to get excited about. There’s a big gap of almost nothing from the 16th of July right through to the 29th of July.
The water temp is sitting at 79° on the 16th, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so you won't need a wetsuit.
Now, the standout. It’s a long way off, but hold onto your boards. On Wednesday the 29th of July, the afternoon session is where it’s at. We’ve got a raw 13ft swell from the NE, with a solid 13-second period. That’s a whole lot of energy (5117) – that’s a very strong pulse. The wind is light from the E, so it’ll be clean. This is strictly for the experts, though – 13ft is serious business.
The next morning, Thursday the 30th of July, is still good for experienced surfers, with the swell dropping to 10ft from the NNE. It’s still got plenty of grunt (1987) and the wind stays cross-off, so it’s another solid day if you’ve got the skills.
Outside of those two days, the rest of the window is pretty flat or junky. If you’re keen, aim for that Wednesday afternoon, but keep an eye on the forecast as it gets closer.
Rusty.
