The Lowdown
Alright folks, ol’ Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Osaki Point. Gotta be straight with you: the first week is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special from the 10th through the 17th, with only a few glimpses of hope. The water is sitting right around 83°, which is just about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The early days, from Thursday the 10th through Monday the 14th, are pretty much a write-off. The swell is small at 3 ft or less from the SSE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is messing it up – cross-onshore and choppy. The energy is weak to moderate at best (263). It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but honestly, it’s not worth getting wet.
We finally get a little window of calm on Tuesday the 15th. The wind goes completely glassy, and the swell, while still small at 4 ft to 4 ft from the ESE, has a slightly better period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (353). It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be clean and you might find a few fun ones. That’s the best of the first week.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions from the 16th through the 18th, with the wind shifting onshore and the swell dropping off. Then, things get interesting. On Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th, a big punch of swell arrives from the SE. We’re talking 12 ft to 20 ft of long-period swell, with periods of 17 to 18 seconds. The energy is massive (8,764 to 19,231). This is a serious groundswell. Now, for the average surfer, it’s going to be too big. Over 8 ft is expert territory, and this is way over that. The wind is light, so the surface should be tidy, but that’s a lot of water moving. A long-period swell like this can be a handful at a beach-and-reef setup, but if you’re an experienced charger, it could be a standout moment. The model even says it might be too big for the break, so pick your spot carefully.
The swell drops quickly through Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd, going from 13 ft back down to 3 ft, with the wind turning messy again. The rest of the forecast window into the 25th is mostly small, weak, and wind-affected, with the only real positive being a glassy morning on the 25th with tiny 3 ft waves.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is a clean, glassy session on the 15th for the smaller-wave crew, and a massive, powerful Southern Ocean groundswell on the 19th and 20th for the experts only. That’s your call.

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