The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks is looking pretty damn flat. We got a whole heap of nothing for the first week and a half. The energy in the water is weak, with readings in the 5-89 range (weak), and the waves are just knee-high or less. It’s all cross-offshore breeze, which keeps things clean, but there’s no power to it. From now until around the 18th, you’re not gonna find much. The swell direction is all over the shop, but it’s all small and short-period. You’re better off staying on the beach.
The first faint sign of life shows up on Monday the 17th of August. A tiny 0.2m W swell with a 12-second period starts to trickle in, and the energy jumps to 112 (moderate) by the afternoon. It’s still really small, but it’s something.
The one and only day that’s actually surfable is the 19th of August. Wednesday morning at Laniakea Reef and Holtons, we get a 0.4m W swell with a 12-second period. The energy is up to 45 (weak), but the wind drops to a gentle 10 mph cross-off, and it’s clean. This is the only window in the whole 16 days where you’ve got a wave with a bit of shape. It’s a reef, so it’ll hold that longer-period swell better than a beach break. This is your best bet, and much better than nothing. Expect a few other desperate souls out there.
After that, it’s back to flatness for the last few days. The 22nd is clean but flat. So, a long, dull spell. Keep the wax in the bag, but don’t write it off completely. The forecast can always change.
Rusty.
