Table - best surf conditions forecast for Laniakea Reef and Holtons over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. I’m looking at the forecast for Laniakea Reef and Holtons, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s a rough one. The water is about 79°F, which is normal for this time of year, so don't expect any surprises there.
The whole 16-day forecast is a long, flat slog. We start with nothing, and it stays that way for a long stretch. We get a few tiny bumps of swell, but they’re so small they’re not worth paddling out for. The wind is a steady cross-off breeze from the east-northeast, about 15 to 19 mph, keeping the surface clean but doing nothing for the size.
The only time the surf even gets a pulse is around July 14th. On Tuesday morning, there’s a little west swell at 2 ft, with a 16-second period. The energy is moderate (284) and the wind is a moderate cross-off at 15 mph. It’s a marginal call with questionable tide conditions, but if you’re really jonesing and the tides are right, you might find a waist-high wave. The swell direction is west, and the spot likes northwest, so it’s not a perfect setup. The long period makes it a classic reef wave, but it’s still tiny.
There is no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a few clean, small waves on the 14th, and that’s a big maybe. The rest of the window is flat, with no consistency at all.
Rusty.
