The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Rocky Point over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the start of this outlook is a bit of a slow burn. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary, and we’ve got a real gap with no good surf to speak of from the 7th through to the 11th of September. Don’t expect much to get excited about there.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Wednesday morning, the 9th. We’re looking at a small NW swell at 4 ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is weak (241), but the wind is light from the east at 31 km/h, keeping it clean. It’s a small wave, but it’s rideable.
Then things get a bit more interesting. The standout option here is the morning of Saturday the 12th. We’ve got a clean, 3 ft NE swell with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (212) and the wind is a light 16 km/h from the east. It’s a small, clean wave at a reef break that is very consistent. Crowds are often around here, so it might get busy. That’s your best bet in the first week.
Looking further ahead into the second week, there’s a promising but less certain window. The morning of Tuesday the 15th sees a long-period swell arrive from the SW at 20 seconds, though the height is only 2 ft and the energy is moderate (296). That long period is a positive sign—it’s groundswell—but the size is tiny. The east wind is light at 16 km/h, so it’ll be clean. It’s a tease, really.
The water temperature is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a thick wetsuit.
Keep your eyes on the 12th—that Saturday morning is your best shot. As for the rest, it’s a waiting game.
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.
