Osaki Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get down to it for Osaki Point. The next couple of days are pretty weak, so don't rush out. But there's some proper swell lurking in the forecast, so keep your board ready.

Right now, we're looking at some small, clean but unremarkable waves. Friday morning has a clean 3ft from the SSW with a light offshore breeze. It's surfable, but not much more. The afternoon drops a bit in period. Saturday is similar, around 3ft, still clean but very ordinary. Sunday is smaller yet, down to 2ft. The wave energy during these days is weak, sitting in the 90-160 range. It's a bit of a lull.

Now, here's where it gets real. We've got a stretch of poor conditions from Monday the 31st through Tuesday the 1st, with onshore winds and the swell starting to build. By Wednesday the 2nd, we're looking at a bigger, more powerful SSW swell, but it's messy with cross-shore winds. The energy is moderate, in the 1400-1900 range. This isn't the time unless you're looking for a beating.

The real standout window starts on Thursday the 3rd of September. The swell jumps to a solid 12ft from the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds. That's real groundswell, and the combined energy is strong, reading 2788. The wind goes cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is big, powerful surf, and it's for experts only. It stays big and clean through Friday the 4th and into the weekend, with waves in the 7ft to 8ft range. The energy stays strong, but the wind picks up a bit on Sunday the 6th. Still, it's cross-off and clean.

But if you want my honest pick, the best of the whole run is looking like Monday the 7th of September. The swell drops a touch to a still-chunky 7ft, but the wind goes light offshore from the SW. The forecast notes "very good surf conditions." That's the one to circle. The energy is still solid at 854, and with that light offshore wind, Osaki Point should be handling it beautifully. The swell direction is SSE, which is just about perfect for this spot.

The week after that stays interesting. There’s another pulse of energy mid-week, and by Wednesday afternoon the 9th, the forecast is calling for "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers" with an 8ft SSW swell and moderate offshore winds. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th also look clean and fun, with glassy conditions and waves in the 7ft to 7ft range. By Saturday the 12th, things start to back off again, with smaller, weaker surf and onshore winds creeping back in.

So, to sum it up: the next few days are small and nothing special. The middle of the first week brings big, messy, powerful surf that's only for the brave. But the standout days are Monday the 7th and Wednesday the 9th, with the 7th looking like the pick of the bunch for clean, powerful waves.

As for the water temp, it's pretty average for this time of year. Nothing wild there.

Alright, stay stoked, and I'll see you out there.
