Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Looks like we’re in for a bit of a tough stretch at Rock Point/Pohakuloa. The whole 16-day window is lined up with constant cross-shore winds mucking up the surface, so conditions never really clean up to a point where you’d want to paddle out. The swell is there, around 6ft to 7ft, mostly from the ENE, but the period is short, 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s all windswell – messy, lumpy, and lacking any real push. The combined energy sits between 256 and 551, so it’s moderate in strength, but without a break in that wind it’s just not worth the effort.
Right from Sunday the 5th, it’s a no-go. The water temp is hovering around 79°, which is about normal for this time of year, but the wind is a fresh breeze – 22 mph cross-shore – and the note says it all: poor surf. That pattern just keeps rolling through. Monday the 6th into Tuesday the 7th, we see the swell bump up to 7ft, and the energy hits 551 Tuesday morning, but those 7-8 second periods mean it’s just a choppy mess with that 22-25 mph cross wind. Not even worth looking at.
Wednesday the 8th through to Sunday the 20th – not a single session gets a score. The swell stays in the 5ft to 7ft range, period never climbs above 8 seconds, and the wind is relentless. Even when it drops to 12 mph around the 16th and 17th, it’s still cross-shore – moderate breeze, moderate cross-chop. By the 20th the swell starts fading a bit, down to 5ft to 6ft with energy in the 250-350 range, but the wind is crisscrossing again.
This is a reef and point break that’s known to be inconsistent, and rarely offers good options with this setup. The optimum swell direction is NE, and the swell is coming from ENE or E, so it’s off-angle too. Honestly, given how strong and persistent the wind is, and the poor quality, Rock Point looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing right now than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run for us. Keep an eye on the forecast – things can shift, but this stretch is a write-off.
Rusty.
