The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for Rocky Point. There’s a real lull in decent swell, and the wind is mostly blowing cross or cross-off from the east, which isn’t ideal for this NW-facing reef. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real chance we see of anything rideable is a long way off: Tuesday, August 11th in the morning. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy is weak at 84. The wind is a light cross-off from the southeast, which is a plus, keeping the surface clean. The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary," so we’re not talking about a classic session. It’s a slight improvement after a long, flat run.
The rest of the week after that is still poor. Through the 12th and 13th, we get some knee-high bumps from the west-northwest, but the wind stays onshore or cross-off, and the energy is still low. Nothing is going to turn it on.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. The consistent onshore winds and lack of size mean it’s not even worth getting the hopes up. If you’re desperate for a paddle, August 11th morning is your only real option, but keep the expectations in the gutter.
Rusty.

Information about the Rocky Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rocky Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rocky Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rocky Point 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 (Rocky Point) 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 Rocky Point 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.
Rocky Point is 18 km (11 miles) from Wahiawa. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Wahiawa. Wahiawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
