The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on offer for the North Shore over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty bleak for a while. The first window of anything surfable is a real letdown, and we’ve got a long dry spell ahead.
For Laniakea Reef and Holtons, we kick things off on Monday, 27 July, with a small 5ft swell from the NE, but the wind is a solid 16 mph from the same direction, making for a messy cross-off and cross-onshore mess. The periods are short, only 7 seconds, so it’s weak and lumpy. The combined energy is only 281 (moderate), but the conditions are poor. The water temp is a normal 79°F, so nothing weird there.
That’s about it for the first week. From Tuesday, 28 July, through to Saturday, 8 August, the surf is basically flat to tiny, with almost no energy. We’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft swells with periods that are all over the place, but the energy is pitiful – values like 8, 5, and 2 (weak). The wind is mostly moderate to fresh from the ENE, keeping it clean but offering nothing to ride. This is a proper blank run.
Then, on Sunday, 9 August, we finally see a pulse. The morning has a 6ft NE swell with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 468 (moderate to strong). The wind is cross-off from the E at 13 mph, which is workable. But it’s still a marginal call, and the tide might be an issue. This is the only real standout in the whole window, but it’s over a week away, so don’t book your flights yet. Monday, 10 August, keeps a little life with a 4ft NE swell and 254 energy, but again, it’s marginal.
For the rest of the second week, it fades back to tiny, inconsistent waves. Honestly, if you’re into kitesurfing, the steady ENE winds and clean conditions on the flat days might be more interesting than paddle surfing. There’s just no quality swell and good wind lining up together.
So, the best bet is the morning of Sunday, 9 August, at Laniakea Reef and Holtons. It’s got the biggest swell of the period, but it’s a long way out and the conditions are only marginal. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t get your hopes up too high.
Rusty, signing off.
