Onemana Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Onemana over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 59.5°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing wild there. The week kicks off with some decent energy, but we've got a bit of a mixed bag. The real standout window looks like it'll be Wednesday the 8th, with some clean conditions and a solid easterly groundswell.

Okay, let's start with Sunday morning the 5th. There's a 5.2ft swell out of the NNE, but with a short 7-second period, it'll be a bit on the weak side and a bit gutless. That said, the wind is a light offshore from the WSW, so the waves will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (435), so it's worth a paddle if you're desperate.

Monday the 6th is a bit of a write-off, with a messy 5.9ft north swell and a gusty cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (610) but the quality is just not there. Tuesday the 7th looks even worse, with strong onshore winds and rain. The swell jumps to 6.6ft from the NE, but with a 9-second period and a messy onshore breeze, it's a choppy mess. Kite surfers might be interested, but for paddle surfing, it's a no-go.

Now, Wednesday the 8th is your best bet for the entire outlook. We get a clean 5.2ft swell from the east with a decent 10-second period. The wind swings to a light cross-off from the SW, keeping everything lined up. The combined energy is solid (808). It's a grounded, clean day at Onemana, so get out there.

Thursday the 9th hangs in there with a smaller 4.3ft east-southeast swell and clean cross-off winds, but it's not as punchy as Wednesday. The energy drops to moderate (353). Friday the 10th sees the swell drop away fast, down to 2.6ft, and the energy is weak (129). Things go pretty quiet from there.

From Saturday the 11th all the way through to the 19th, it's mostly flat or very small, with weak energy and poor conditions. There's a brief window on Wednesday the 15th where it's glassy and the swell is 1.6ft with a very long 12-second period from the east, but the energy is weak (138). That long period would make it a bit of a wait between sets, and on a beach break like Onemana, it might just close out. You could get one or two, but it's not really worth the hype.

The very end of the outlook, around the 20th of July, sees a massive jump in swell – we're talking 13-15ft NNE swell with huge energy (3746). But the wind is a strong, messy cross-onshore, making it unrideable. For the experts, even that would be a pretty ugly beast. It's a poor finish.

So the standout is Wednesday the 8th. Get it while it's good.
