The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Lohi’s. This is a reef break that doesn’t break all that often, so when it does, it’s special, but you’ve got to be ready to wait. The water is warm at 85.1°, which is about 1.3° warmer than the usual for this time of year, so nothing too wild.
The first real chance to get wet is Thursday afternoon, July 23rd. A light cross-off breeze from the WNW at 6 mph keeps things clean. Swell is 4.3 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 451. It’s clean and rideable, but nothing to write home about. The real standout is Saturday afternoon, the 25th of July. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the west, cross-off, and the swell pushes to 4.6 ft from the SE, 10 seconds. Energy goes up to 529, and the report says very good conditions. That’s the one.
Sunday the 26th is also a good one. Morning brings 4.9 ft from the SE at 12 seconds, and afternoon hits 5.2 ft with 11 seconds. Energy is strong at 718 and 783. The wind stays light from the WNW, cross-off, so it’s clean. That’s a solid run for a break that’s inconsistent, and with the swell coming from the SE, it’s lining up with the optimum direction.
From Tuesday the 28th of July onward, things get rough. The surf turns marginal, with winds shifting to cross-shore and picking up to 12 to 15 mph. The swell is small, mostly 1.9 ft to 3.3 ft, and while there are some long-period SSW swells (16 to 20 seconds), the chop and wind make it a tough paddle. The best of that second week is maybe the 31st of July, with a 3.3 ft SSW swell at 17 seconds and a cross-off breeze, but it’s still a marginal day. From the 28th of July all the way to the 7th of August, it’s a long stretch of just okay surf.
The standout is Saturday afternoon, the 25th of July, with clean 4.6 ft SE swell and near-calm winds. Sunday the 26th is a close second. Crowds are possible here, so if you hit that Saturday window, you might have some company, but the clean conditions will make it worth it.

Information about the Lohi's Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lohi's provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lohi's can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lohi's surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lohi's) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lohi's may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
