Alright, let’s get real about Rock Point/Pohakuloa. This is a reef and point set-up that likes swell from the NE, but it’s inconsistent – it doesn’t fire all that often. Right now, looking down the whole 16-day run, it’s a pretty grim picture. The water temperature is sitting at 79° with a tiny anomaly of 0.5°, so it’s basically average for this time of year.
The issue here is the wind. From Thursday afternoon, 2nd July, all the way through, we’ve got a relentless cross-shore wind hammering in from the ENE at 18 to 22 mph. That’s a fresh breeze, and it’s churning the ocean into a lumpy, cross-chop mess. Even though there’s swell – starting around 5 ft and building to over 7 ft in the first few days – the quality is rated as poor surf conditions the entire stretch. The combined swell energy is moderate, hitting values like 302 up to 545, so there’s some push in the water, but it’s all ruined by the wind. Periods are short, mostly 7-8 seconds, so it’s just wind-slop, not proper groundswell.
There isn’t a single standout session in the whole forecast. Every single time slot – morning and afternoon – for the first two weeks gets the same bad report. This is a blank run, plain and simple. For a break that’s already inconsistent, a stretch like this is pretty normal for the area. The surf just isn’t happening here.
If you’re feeling desperate, the swell does reach around 7 ft on the 16th of July, but with that same cross-wind and short period, it’s still poor. Honestly, with the wind and the chop, this set-up looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
It’s a tough one to call. Forecaster confidence is low for any improvement because the wind pattern is locked in. We’re looking at a full 16-day gap with no real options. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
