North Moana Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for North Moana Beach.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long, long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The first bit of surf that even registers is over a week and a half away, and even then it’s not pretty.

From now through to the morning of Wednesday, July 15th, it’s a total write-off. Day after day of tiny, weak slop or flat, glassy conditions. We’re talking swell heights mostly below 2 ft, with next to no energy (combined swell energy figures are mostly in the single digits). The wind is sometimes offshore or glassy, which is nice, but there’s simply no wave to ride. You’d be bobbing around for nothing.

The first real change comes Wednesday morning the 15th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the SW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind finally clocks around to a clean offshore from the ESE at 12 mph. It’s still a weak, short-period swell (combined energy is only 57), so the quality is ordinary – the report even calls it “surfable but very ordinary.” For a beginner-friendly spot like this, it’s the only window to get wet, but don’t expect any gems.

After that, it drops straight back into the doldrums for the rest of the 16-day run. By the weekend of the 18th July, we get a little wind bump from the north, but it’s messy cross-onshore chop with barely any swell. Not your friend.

So here’s the honest truth: there’s no standout session in this outlook. The only day that even qualifies is Wednesday, July 15th, morning session at North Moana Beach. Clean offshore wind, a little 3 ft SW swell, but it’s short-period and weak. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.

The water temp is 60°F, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year – no surprises there.

Overall, a frustrating blank patch. Hang tight, check back later – it’s gotta turn around eventually.
