The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s on the table for Laniakea Reef and Holtons.
Straight up, it’s a flat spell for a long time. We’re looking at nothing worth paddling out for from now until the end of July. The first few days are completely flat, just a dead calm ocean with no swell to speak of. That’s a solid gap of no surf.
Then, on Monday morning, the 27th of July, we finally see a pulse of swell arrive. It’s a 5ft NE swell with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 261, but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. Still, the forecast calls it marginal, and the short period means the waves will be a bit soft and mushy. Not a standout, but at least a paddle.
The best window in the whole outlook falls on the morning of Monday, 27 July. That’s the only time the swell is over 5ft, and the wind is offshore. It’s a consistent reef break, so the waves will peel, but short period swell like this isn’t the best for this spot. The water temperature is 79°, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
After that morning, it’s back to small, weak, and poor conditions. The wind stays cross-off or cross, but the swell drops to under 2ft for days on end. There’s a tiny 1ft pulse from the SW on the 30th July morning, but it’s barely surfable.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The only real mention is that Monday morning, 27 July—it’s a small, short-period swell, but it’s the best on offer. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, wind-blown letdown. It’s a quiet stretch for the North Shore.
Rusty.
