Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rock Point/Pohakuloa over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Rock Point/Pohakuloa over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. For the first ten days or so, there’s not a single session I’d get excited about. The wind is relentless, blowing cross-shore and strong, trashing any chance of a clean wave. The swell is there, but it’s short-period, weak, and the conditions are just plain ugly. You’ll be looking at a lot of lumpy, choppy, cross-chop mess. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny glimmer, shows up on the Wednesday afternoon of the 22nd of July. The wind eases off a touch and swings cross-offshore, giving us a brief window of clean conditions. The swell is still modest at 5.2ft from the ENE, with a period of just 7 seconds, so it’s not gonna be a world-beater, but for a reef and point break like Rock Point, that offshore wind will make it look a million times better than anything else in the outlook. The wave energy is moderate (322), so it’s not a total loss. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded, so if you’re out there, be prepared to share.
Then, after that, we slide back into more cross-shore wind and poor surf, with a few more marginal days but nothing worth paddling out for. The swell actually starts to build a bit by the 25th of July, with a 6.6ft from the ENE and a bit more energy (621), but that cross-shore wind is still there, making it a messy, lumpy affair. By the 26th, we get a weird spike of very long-period groundswell (16 seconds) from the E, but it’s only 3.6ft and the wind is howling at 30 km/h, turning it into a washing machine. That long period is better suited for a point or reef, but the wind just kills it.
So, the best of a bad bunch is that Wednesday afternoon on the 22nd. It’s not a standout, more of a "maybe grab a quick session if you’re desperate." For the rest of the run, you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days. This is one of those stretches where the ocean is just not cooperating.
