Howdy, Rusty here. Alright, let’s call it like it is – the surf outlook for Rock Point/Pohakuloa (Hawaii) is a complete dud for the next 16 days. This reef and point break is already inconsistent, and we’re staring down a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for, from now right through to July 19th.
Every day brings the same story: a cross-shore wind from the ENE blowing 16 to 22 mph, just destroying the surface. The waves are running between 5 ft and 8 ft, coming from the ENE, but with a short period of only 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at best (mostly 300 to 560), but it’s all lumpy cross-chop. The surf quality is poor, full stop.
There’s no best on offer, no standout session. With this constant cross-breeze and choppy conditions, this spot is calling out more to kite surfers than to paddle surfers. Water temp is about 79°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, but you won’t be feeling it from the sand.
A tough run, folks. Don’t waste the gas. Things could shift, but right now it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
