The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. I’m looking at the whole 16-day window for Laniakea Reef and Holtons on the North Shore, and honestly, it’s a proper flat spell. The first recommendation doesn’t even show up until the very end of the outlook, which leaves a massive gap with no real surf to speak of.
From Wednesday, August 5th all the way through to Wednesday, August 19th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell. The waves are mostly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the combined energy readings are weak – mostly in the teens, twenties, or low hundreds – so there’s just no power in the water. The winds are cross-off from the ENE, which is clean, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. It’s a real bummer for a spot that can be so good.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the tail end: on Thursday morning, August 20th, we finally see a bump. The swell jumps to 2 ft from the SW with a period of 18 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell. The combined energy hits 205 (moderate energy), which is the only real number in the whole forecast that has any guts. The wind stays light cross-off from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. That said, 2 ft is still tiny, and for a reef break like this, a long-period groundswell from the SW isn’t the ideal direction – this spot really wants NW. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the only one on the table. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
The water temperature anomaly isn’t provided here, so I can’t tell you if it’s warmer or cooler than usual, but given the rest of the outlook, it’s just a flat, quiet period for the North Shore. Hang tight, check the charts, and hope the next window brings something better.
