Alright, Rusty here—putting it in feet and miles per hour. Truth is, Rock Point/Pohakuloa is locked into a pretty rough run. The whole sixteen days is filled with cross-shore winds and lumpy, messy surf. The first chance to paddle out is the morning of Saturday the 4th of July.
Right from the start, you're looking at a 6ft NE swell, but it's a short-period wind swell—only 8 seconds—and the wind is ripping cross-shore at 19 mph from the ENE. The water's chopped up, the report calls it "poor surf conditions," and that's exactly what it is. This sets the tone for the whole first week. Swell holds between 5ft and 7ft, mostly from the ENE, but periods stay short at 7 to 8 seconds and the cross-wind never lets up.
Around the 12th of July, the wind eases to 12 mph but stays cross-shore, and the swell drops to 6ft. Still poor. That lighter wind sticks around for a couple days, but the swell quality doesn't improve—still cross-chop.
The second week shows the swell dipping to 4ft on the 15th of July, but the wind cranks back up to 16-19 mph from the ENE. The energy readings drop into the low 200s—real weak, mushy stuff. The last couple days, from the 17th to the 19th of July, the swell bumps back up to 6ft to 6ft, but with that same short period and fresh cross-shore wind, it's all texture and no shape.
The only bigger push is around the 6th and 7th of July when the swell hits 7ft, but with 7-second periods and cross-wind, it's a lumpy mess—more for kite gear than a surfboard. Water temp is about what you'd expect for July.
Bottom line: no clean windows, no offshore days, no standouts. This is a blank run for the area, plain and simple. Stay patient, check back in—forecasts shift.
