The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the surf for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it starts off grim. From Sunday, July 19th, all the way through to the 26th, it's a total loss. The wind is a stubborn cross-onshore breeze from the ENE, and the swell is all short-period, choppy slop. The water is 80°F, which is pretty normal for the season, but that doesn't help the waves. It's a long, dry stretch.

Now, there is one day that actually looks worth paddling out for. That's Tuesday, July 28th. The wind is finally forecast to swing to a on direction from the NNE, which is offshore for Rivermouth_Wailuku. That's a game-changer. The swell is a solid east-southeast groundswell running 5ft to 6ft with a period of 12-13 seconds. That long period carries some serious punch, with the combined energy hitting a strong 1089. Because it's a reef break, this long-period energy will focus up nicely. It's a fairly consistent wave, but you can expect crowds on a day like this. The morning of the 28th is the clear winner.

After that, it's back to the struggle. The wind turns cross-on again, and the swell fades. From the 29th of July through the 2nd of August, the wave height drops below 3ft, and the energy is weak. We see a little pulse on the 3rd of August with a 3ft east swell and a 15-second period, but the cross-onshore wind from the ENE will spoil it.

The bottom line: if you're itching for a wave, the 28th of July is your only real shot. It's a small window of clean, powerful surf in a forecast that's otherwise pretty bleak.

Rusty out.
