Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk straight: we’ve got a long, dry stretch ahead. For Puaena Point, the surf is basically a no-go from the start of the period until about Saturday July 12th. That’s about a week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for.
Through those first ten days, the wind is a steady cross-off from the ENE, but the swell is weak. We’re talking tiny NE windswell, 3ft to 4ft, with short periods around 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy rarely even cracks 200 – weak stuff. Every day is rated as poor surf. Water temp is a comfortable 79°, right on average, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Now, here’s your one glimmer: Saturday July 12th into Sunday July 13th. The swell switches to the southwest with a proper long period of 15 to 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps to the 560–650 range (strong). But the wave height is still only 3ft, and the forecast calls for marginal conditions. The wind remains cross-off from the ENE. For a reef point like Puaena, that long period means better shape, but it might still be a bit wonky. The best bet is Sunday July 13th morning – a lighter moderate breeze and the most energy in the water over the whole run.
After that, from Monday July 14th through Thursday July 17th, it drops back to smaller W groundswell, around 2ft to 2ft, with poor ratings and a moderate to fresh breeze. Nothing to write home about.
So, one small shot around July 12th-13th, and then it’s back to waiting. Keep the board waxed for that window, but don’t plan your life around it.

A general guide to surfing at Puaena Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Puaena 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 (Puaena 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 Puaena 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.
Puaena Point is 14 km (9 miles) from Wahiawa. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Wahiawa. Wahiawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
