Right, let’s switch this up to feet and miles per hour for you lot. Rusty here.
We’re sitting on a 16-day stretch for Rock Point/Pohakuloa, but don’t think you’ll be scoring anything clean for a good while. It’s a reef and point break exposed to the NE, but the first week is a total write-off.
From Saturday the 11th right through the following week, it’s all ENE windswell with short periods between 6 and 8 seconds. Wave heights sit between 4 ft and 8 ft, but the wind is cross-shore, gusting 15 to 22 mph, making for a lumpy cross-chop. The energy readings, 154 to 603, are moderate, but with the wind, the surf is rated poor. Scores are zero across the board.
You’re staring at a big gap of no-go surf. Don’t bother suiting up.
It’s not until Saturday the 25th that we see a glimmer. That morning, the ENE swell runs 6 ft, short period at 7 seconds, moderate energy around 286. The wind backs way off to only 6 mph, still cross-shore, with small wind ripples. It’s marginal, but a score of 1 out of 10 is a first in this outlook.
The real standout? That Saturday afternoon, the 25th. Still far out, so keep expectations in check. The swell holds at 6 ft from the ENE, period still 7 seconds, moderate energy at 346. The wind shifts to NE at 12 mph, going cross-offshore, and the word is: clean. For a reef point, that’s a game-changer. Crowds are often a problem, so expect a full lineup if it holds.
Rock Point is inconsistent and usually needs a better direction to fire. The first week is a dead loss, but that Saturday afternoon could be a session worth waiting for.
Rusty.
