Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Rock Point/Pohakuloa over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you: it's a rough run ahead. We're looking at a solid 16-day stretch where the surf just isn't going to be worth paddling out for. The whole period is a blank, with no good surf on offer from the start right through to the end. That's how it goes here sometimes, and this is one of those times.

The issue is two-fold. First, that swell is coming from the ENE, but the optimum direction here for that reef and point setup is from the NE, so the angle is off. Wave heights are mostly hanging around the 6 ft to 8 ft mark, which is actually a decent size, but the real killer is the wind. It's locked in from the ENE at 18 to 22 mph the whole time, which is a fresh cross-shore breeze. Everything is going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined swell energy is moderate, bouncing around the 300 to 500 range, but it doesn't matter when the wind is tearing it up like that. The period is short too, barely scraping 8 seconds, so there's no real power behind it.

This break is inconsistent as it is, and with these conditions, it's not even worth the look. For the first week, from Saturday July 4th through to Friday July 10th, it's all the same story: lumpy cross-chop with waves that just don't have any shape. The wind does ease slightly to 15 mph on a couple of afternoons in the second week around July 12th and 14th, but it's still a cross-shore breeze, so it's not going to clean up.

Given the persistent cross-wind and the beach-and-reef setup, this stretch looks a lot more interesting for the kite surfers than it does for us paddle surfers. It's a blank run, plain and simple. Conditions like this don't last forever, and the forecasts can change, but for now, save your energy.

Rusty.

Information about the Rock Point/Pohakuloa Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Rock Point/Pohakuloa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rock Point/Pohakuloa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rock Point/Pohakuloa surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Rock Point/Pohakuloa) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rock Point/Pohakuloa may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
