Osaki Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, we're looking at a pretty quiet stretch for the next little while. The opening days are a write-off, with nothing to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to wet a line comes on the morning of Thursday, August 20th. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the SE, but the wind is glassy. It's surfable, but you'll be working for every little bump. The combined energy is a weak 93, so you know it's small. It's a very ordinary session, but if you're desperate, it's the only game in town.

Friday, August 21st, is more of the same with a tiny 1ft SE swell, but the wind goes clean offshore from the SW. Again, it's small, but those clean conditions are a nice bonus. The energy is a paltry 90.

The first real standout, and the best on offer across the whole 16 days, actually lands on Sunday, August 23rd. The morning session at Osaki Point is looking like the pick of the bunch. We've got a 3ft swell from the SSW, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is a moderate 204, so there's a bit more push behind it. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't be the most powerful, but with glassy conditions, it'll be clean and fun. This is your window.

Then, the far end of the forecast gets interesting. On Thursday, August 27th, the swell picks up. The morning shows 4ft from the SE with a moderate energy of 465, and the wind is clean cross-off from the SSW. The afternoon looks even better with 5ft from the SE and a solid energy of 645. The wind stays clean. This is expert territory at 5ft, and the period is 10 seconds, so it's a solid groundswell. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it's the most promising swell of the whole outlook.

That's it from me. The surf is thin on the ground for a while, but if you're willing to wait, there's a couple of decent windows.

Rusty.
