The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the North Shore over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta call it how I see it: this is a pretty bleak stretch for Laniakea Reef and Holtons. The whole 16-day run is looking flat and gutless. From the 10th of August right through to the 25th, we’re barely seein’ any real swell. The combined wave energy barely cracks double digits for most of it, and even when it nudges a little higher, it’s still weak. There’s no standout session in here, not a single one I’d get excited about.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing strange there.
The first week, from Monday the 10th through the weekend of the 15th, is a snoozefest. We’re looking at tiny swell—0.7 ft to 1 ft, mostly from the NNW or W, with short periods around 8 to 12 seconds. The wind is a moderate or fresh breeze from the ENE or NE, blowin’ cross-off or cross, keepin’ the surface clean but the waves just aren’t there. The combined energy hangs around 6 to 52 (52) at best, and that’s with a score of 0 across the board. It’s poor surf conditions, plain and simple. By the weekend of the 15th, it’s even got a bit of a cross-chop on the afternoon.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Monday the 17th through Sunday the 23rd stays tiny, with swell heights mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft. On Tuesday the 18th afternoon, the guidance says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" for a moment, with a 1 ft, WNW swell, 12-second period, and combined energy of 48 (48). That’s the closest we get to a pulse, but it’s barely worth paddling out for. The rest of the week is back to 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with the wind stayin’ cross-off from the ENE, and the combined energy rarely reaching 100 (100). The end of the second week, from Monday the 24th to Tuesday the 25th, is more of the same—tiny, weak, and uninspiring.
Big picture: if you’re lookin’ for waves on the North Shore right now, you’re gonna be disappointed. The whole 16-day window is a washout. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
