Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey crew, Rusty here. I’ve gotta level with you – this forecast for Rock Point/Pohakuloa from July 6th through July 21st is a real bummer. There’s no good window for a clean paddle session across the whole 16 days. A persistent cross-shore wind messes up the surface the entire time.
Starting Monday, July 6th, we’ve got a 7ft swell out of the ENE with a short, weak period of only 7 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (combined energy right around 524), but that fresh cross-shore wind blowing 22 mph has the ocean all lumpy and rough. The report calls it poor surf conditions from the get-go.
Tuesday and Wednesday (July 7th–8th) bring more of the same. Swell heights stay between 7ft and 7ft, still that short period, and still the cross-shore wind at 19–22 mph. The energy stays moderate, ranging from 417 to 534, but you can forget about any clean waves.
Moving through the first week, Thursday and Friday (July 9th–10th) keep the same story – ENE swell, that darned cross-shore wind, and lumpy chop. The swell drops a little to 6ft to 7ft, but the wind is the big problem. The weekend of July 11th–12th is a wash too, with rain showers and clouds, but the wind continues. Sunday sees the swell energy bump back up over 500, but even an 8-second period can’t fix that moderate to fresh cross-shore breeze.
Into the second week from July 14th, the swell height drops to between 3ft and 6ft, but the period stays short at 7–8 seconds, and that cross-shore wind is still blowing. Even by Monday July 20th and Tuesday July 21st, when the wind eases a little to 12–16 mph, it’s still cross-shore and the surf is still poor.
With this constant cross-shore wind and short-period swell creating a lumpy mess, this spot looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for anyone on a paddle board. There’s energy, but no quality. Let’s hope it changes – this area is usually better than a blank run like this. Keep the wax off for now.
Rusty.
