Hey, Rusty here. I gotta level with ya – this whole 16-day stretch from now through July 17th is a total dud at Middles/Generals. The finder shows zero good options, and the guidance tells us it’s “fairly consistent” but the wind and swell just aren’t lining up. It’s a rough spell, but that happens here sometimes – when the ENE wind locks in day after day with that strong cross-shore, it’s game over for clean waves.

Water temp is about 79°F, just normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Starting Thursday afternoon July 2nd, we’ve got ENE swell around 5 ft with a short 8-second period and a 22 mph cross wind. The combined energy is moderate at 558, but it’s “poor surf conditions” – lumpy chop. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are the same. Saturday afternoon sees a 2 ft S swell with a long 20-second period, energy at 918, but that cross wind at 22 mph kills it.

Monday July 6th through Wednesday July 8th, the swell bumps up to 7 ft to 7 ft from the ENE, period still short at 7-8 seconds, and wind hits 25 mph from the ENE – “strong cross-shore with messy cross-chop”. This is more of a kiteboarding setup than paddle surfing. Thursday July 9th to Monday July 13th keeps the grind: ENE swell around 5 ft to 6 ft, period 7-8 seconds, wind 22-25 mph. Energy goes from moderate 239 to 612, but every entry is “poor surf conditions”. A couple of Southwest pulses at 3 ft with 15-18 second period show up, but the wind stays cross or cross-onshore.

From July 14th to the 17th, the swell fades – 3 ft to 4 ft ENE, weak period, energy drops to 107 by Tuesday afternoon July 14th. Tiny SSW pulses at 1 ft to 2 ft with longer period don’t change the picture. By Friday July 17th morning, it’s a 3 ft E swell at 6 seconds, and afternoon goes to 1 ft SSW.

No standouts. None. If you’re patient, forecasts can change, but for now it’s a waiting game. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the horizon.

Rusty.

Information about the Middles/Generals Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Middles/Generals provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Middles/Generals can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Middles/Generals 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 (Middles/Generals) 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 Middles/Generals 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.

Middles/Generals is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Kailua. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kailua. Kailua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
