Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one to swallow. I've got nothing but poor surf conditions across the entire 16-day run for Rivermouth_Wailuku. The ocean just isn't cooperating, so don't bother waxing up your board just yet.
The problem is a persistent cross-onshore wind from the ENE all the way through, gusting anywhere from 9 mph to 16 mph. That's keeping the surface choppy and messy. We're looking at chest-high waves, around 3.6 ft to 6.2 ft, but don't let the size fool you. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, meaning these are weak, wind-driven slop with very little push. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, ranging from 180 to 397 (moderate wave energy), but it's all just bumpy, disorganised lines. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 79.3°F, which is about normal for this time of year with a 0.9°F anomaly, so at least it'll be a nice bath.
The wind state is always cross-on, so there's no clean window at all. From Saturday the 4th of July straight through to Sunday the 19th of July, every session is a write-off. Honestly, with the strong cross-onshore wind and the beach/reef setup, this might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's no standout, no hidden gem for the next two weeks-plus. This is just one of those periods where the surf gods are on holiday.
