Osaki Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, it’s Rusty. Let’s break it down.

First up, we got a slow start, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get you wet. The spot is Osaki Point (beach and reef), and it’s a mixed bag over the next couple weeks.

Water temp is 84°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, so you’ll be in just boardies.

Sunday, August 9th kicks off with some onshore wind and a bit of a messy stormy vibe, but there’s a solid 7ft SSW swell rolling in at 12 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1757. The wind is light from the east, but it’s onshore, so it’s not clean. Cross-on winds later in the day aren’t much better. Wait it out.

Monday, August 10th is the real gem. The morning is absolute glass – zero wind – and the swell has dropped to 4ft, but it’s coming from the east at 12 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell that’s going to wrap nicely into this reef setup. The combined energy is still a solid 956. This is the best on offer, and it’s clean as a whistle. Afternoon stays glassy with a light SSW breeze. If you’re free, this is the session to hit. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so expect a few others, but it’s worth it.

From Tuesday, August 11th through mid-week, the swell fades and the winds turn messy. There’s a long stretch of marginal, poor, or just small surf. The combined energy drops from 547 down to 200 by Thursday. It’s a real lull. The period drops to 9-10 seconds, so the shape is ordinary. No go.

Friday, August 14th to Sunday, August 16th – still small, winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Swell heights hover around 3ft to 4ft, but the energy is low (under 400) and the wind is ruining it. Not worth paddling out.

Monday, August 17th to Tuesday, August 18th – tiny, with the swell dropping to 2ft. The combined energy is only 99 on Tuesday morning, which is basically flat. Glassy conditions, but you’d be floating. This is kite-surfing territory if anything.

The second week picks up a little. Wednesday, August 19th through Friday, August 21st sees a small bump of 2ft to 3ft from the east, with very light winds and some glassy periods. The energy is pitiful – under 200 – so it’s more of a longboard micro-swell. The period is short (8-9 seconds), so don’t expect much push.

Saturday, August 22nd and Sunday, August 23rd finally show a pulse: the swell builds to 4ft-5ft from the south at 10-11 seconds. The energy jumps back to 486 to 622. The catch? The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be bumpy and choppy. Not the cleanest.

Monday, August 24th is the real late standout. The swell holds at 4ft-5ft from the south at 11 seconds (long period), and the wind swings off-shore from the SSW. The combined energy is 604-624, and the description says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the second-best window – clean, lined-up waves, perfect for intermediate crew. Again, crowd levels are *sometimes*, so it’s likely you’ll have company, but it’s a solid session.

Bottom line: Monday, August 10th is your best bet for glassy, clean, long-period groundswell. The Monday, August 24th window is promising but more than two weeks out – keep an eye on it. The long gap from the 11th to the 18th is a real lull, so don’t plan a trip around that.

Rusty.
