Osaki Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what we’ve got coming up for Osaki Point. The water is sitting at a warm 83°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a bit of a slow start. Sunday the 23rd has some tiny 3ft swell from the SSW, but honestly, it’s just ordinary. Not worth getting wet for. We’ll wait.

Monday the 24th is where things start to get interesting. The morning is the real standout here. We’ve got a 4ft groundswell from the SE with a very long period of 19 seconds, and the wind is dead calm, glassy. That’s the kind of energy that brings real shape. The combined energy is moderate at 1038, but that long period will make the waves feel a lot bigger. This is a moment for experienced surfers to get on it—clean, lined-up sets. The afternoon gets bigger, 7ft, but the wind goes cross and the quality drops a bit.

Tuesday the 25th sees a big jump in size, with 12ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is cross-onshore. That’s a lot of water moving, with combined energy over 6500, but it’s going to be messy. Kite surfers might be more into this than paddle surfers.

Wednesday the 26th stays big, around 10ft to 12ft, but the wind stays unfriendly. The risk of thunderstorms doesn’t help. It’s still a lot of energy, but not clean.

Thursday the 27th morning is a gem. The swell drops to a still-solid 8ft from the S, and the wind goes glassy again. The combined energy is strong at 1745, and with that period down to 11 seconds, it’ll be a more manageable, powerful wave. Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops to 5ft and stays glassy, which is a good, clean option.

Friday the 28th has clean, offshore winds. The morning has 4ft from the S with a moderate 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the W. Clean, fun waves. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft with a cross-offshore wind. Good, rideable conditions.

From Saturday the 29th onward, the swell drops and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore for a long stretch. The surf gets small and messy, down to 3ft by Sunday the 30th. There’s a brief pulse of 7ft to 7ft on the 1st of September, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy. The start of September week is a write-off with strong onshore winds and choppy conditions, especially from the 2nd through the 5th, where the wind gets up to 34 mph from the SE. That’s just messy.

The 6th of September is a light at the end of the tunnel. The wind goes offshore from the WSW and SW, with a clean 5ft swell from the ESE. That’s a good, clean session to look forward to, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

The best on offer is the Monday 24th morning glassy session with the long-period groundswell, and the Thursday 27th morning glassy, powerful waves. Those are your moments.

Rusty.
