The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Laniakea Reef and Holtons.
Straight up, this is a tough run. The finder is telling me there’s not a single good surf option in the whole 16-day window. It’s going to be a long, flat spell, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
We start on Thursday the 13th of August with tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNW, period around 8 seconds. Combined wave energy is really weak at just (6). The wind is a cross-off from the ENE at 16 mph, so the surface looks clean, but there’s just no power. That same story pretty much carries right through to the end of the month. Every single day shows “poor surf conditions.” We get a slight bump around Wednesday the 19th afternoon, where a 3ft NE swell shows up with a short 7-second period and combined energy hitting (116), which is moderate energy, but it’s still flagged as poor surf. That’s likely because the swell direction (NE) isn't matching what this spot prefers (NW), and the period is short, so the waves will be weak and crumbly.
From the 20th onward, it’s back to tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft waves. By the 27th and 28th of August, we see a little increase to 1ft and 2ft from the north, with energy getting up to (60), but it's still not enough to get excited about. The wind stays cross-off or side-off the whole time, so when there *is* anything, it will look clean, but that’s about the only positive.
For a spot that’s consistent like Laniakea, this is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. The blank run looks pretty normal for the area when the trade winds are this strong and the swell window shuts down. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change. Right now though, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
