The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for the North Shore.
Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty flat run for a long stretch. The first noticeable surf doesn’t show up until mid-August. For the first 12 days, it’s a whole lot of tiny, weak ripples. You’ll see a few pulses of northwest swell trying to get through, but they’re just too small to do anything with. The wind is a constant cross-off from the east, which would be clean, but there’s just no energy to work with. The first real sign of life creeps in on the morning of the 12th of August at Laniakea Reef and Holtons. The swell finally starts to push above waist-high, coming from the west at 3ft, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s enough to get a few rides, but the combined energy is still only moderate (237). The wind is a gentle breeze from the east, so it’s cross-off and clean. It’s not going to be world-class, but it’s the first actual surfable option in a long, dry spell. The water temp is about 79°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
The Thursday afternoon of the 13th of August sees a bit more activity, with a 2ft swell from the northeast, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weaker and more crumbly. The energy is still moderate (168). The Friday morning of the 14th of August is a bit of a washout, but the afternoon picks back up with a 2ft west swell at 11 seconds, with clean conditions. The best of a quiet bunch is probably the morning of the 12th of August. That 3ft west swell with a 13-second period offers the best shape and a bit of push, and the east wind keeps it clean. Don’t expect a crowd-free session, as this spot can get busy, but for what’s on offer, it’s the standout.
