Osaki Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s get into what the next couple of weeks are looking like for Osaki Point. It’s a mixed bag, to be honest, but there’s a definite window of clean surf early on that you’ll want to be on top of.

The first bit of action kicks off Monday afternoon, August 10th. We’ve got some clouds, but the wind is dead glassy from the SE at 3 mph. Swell is a clean 3.9ft from the east with a solid 12-second period. The combined energy is at a moderate 805, and it’s expected to be very good surf. Water temp is sitting at 83.7°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is the standout of the whole period, so if you can get out, do it.

Tuesday the 11th is a bit of a letdown. The morning has a 3.6ft south swell, but it’s onshore and the forecast is marginal. The afternoon picks up slightly to 4.3ft from the SSW, but it’s still onshore and questionable. The energy is moderate, around the 550s, but the wind is messing it up. I’d give it a miss.

Wednesday morning on the 12th is another good window. Completely calm winds, glassy conditions, with a 3.6ft SSW swell at 10 seconds. The energy is a moderate 406 and the call is for good surf. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean. The afternoon turns a bit choppy with a cross-on breeze, so mornings are the go-to here.

The rest of the week into the 13th and 14th is poor. We’ve got storm risks and onshore winds, with small, short-period swells. Thursday is a write-off, and Friday morning sees a small 2.6ft glassy wave, but it’s weak. Friday afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore breeze.

The weekend sees a slight improvement. Saturday the 15th has clean 3ft waves in the morning with a light air, but the afternoon gets crossed up. Sunday the 16th is similar, but the afternoon turns cross-off and clean, with a 2.6ft east swell. It’s small, but rideable.

The real pick of the second week is Monday, August 17th. The swell fills back in a touch to 3.6ft from the east with an 11-second period. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, cleaning it up nicely. Both the morning and afternoon sessions look good, with energy in the 340-388 range. This is a solid day for a point break like this.

After that, things taper off. The swell drops and the periods get shorter. From the 18th onward, we’re looking at mostly small, weak surf. The energy drops below 200, and it stays that way for the rest of the week. There are some clean, glassy moments on the 22nd and 23rd, but the waves are only around 2.3ft to 2.6ft. It’s more of a longboard or a funboard sort of deal.

The very end of the window, on the 25th, shows a little pulse of long-period east swell at 12 seconds, but the height is still small. It’s a tease, more than anything.

So, the honest truth is, the best surf in this window is on Monday the 10th and Monday the 17th. The first one is the biggest and cleanest of the bunch. The second week is much smaller and less consistent, so don’t get your hopes up too high. It’s not a complete blank, but you’ve got to pick your moments.

Stay stoked.
