The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way for Laniakea Reef and Holtons.
Honestly, it’s a pretty tough stretch ahead. The waves are mostly a no-show for the first few days, and then we get into a long, long flat spell. The first bit of action that’s even worth a mention happens on Wednesday the 29th of July. Wednesday afternoon, the swell jumps up to a solid 7ft from the NE, with a period of 9 seconds, giving us a moderate wave energy (679). But here’s the kicker—the wind is a light cross-onshore. It’s gonna be a bit of a messy, lumpy beast, and the report says it’s only marginal. For the experienced crew at a reef break, you might find a few, but it’s not the clean, lined-up perfection we dream of.
Wednesday morning is a total washout with a tiny 0.3ft swell, so don’t even bother paddling out then.
After that little jump, the bottom falls out. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, we’re looking at small, weak surf. The swell barely cracks 2ft, and most days it’s sitting at 0.6ft or 1.0ft. The winds are mostly cross-offshore from the ENE, which is clean, but there’s just no energy to push anything. The combined energy values are in the single digits or low double digits—weak, weak, weak. The water temp is a lovely 79°F, about average for the time of year, but it’s a lake out there.
The only other glimmer is on Monday the 10th of August afternoon. We get a little 1.0ft groundswell from the WNW with a period of 13 seconds, and a light breeze from the E. The report says it’s “surfable but very ordinary.” The wave energy is still low (41), so it’s really just a longboard cruise or a chance to get wet, not a proper session.
There’s no standout session here, folks. The best on offer is that Wednesday afternoon pulse, but it’s messy. If you’re desperate, you might get a couple of wobbly ones, but this is a long stretch of poor surf. The consistent breeze and small, weak swell make this look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the window. Keep the board in the car and hope the forecasts change.
Rusty.
