The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for Rocky Point.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. The surf is tiny for most of the run, and the wind is a constant problem. We’ve got a long gap right from the start with no surf to speak of. The first week and a half is almost a write-off, with nothing but knee-high slop and cross-shore breezes messing up what little is there. The energy is weak, barely registering in the double digits. It’s a real flat spell.
Things start to get a bit more interesting around August 13th. The swell starts to push up a little, but it’s still small. The standout window is from the morning of August 14th through the 15th. On Friday the 14th, Rocky Point (Oahu) sees a clean morning with cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 19 mph and a 1 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 109. It’s still small, but that long-period groundswell will have some push on the reef. Saturday the 15th is similar, with a 2 ft swell from the W and a 15-second period, and clean conditions in the morning with the wind at 16 mph. The energy climbs to 121. This is the best on offer, but it’s still only really for logs or a fun mid-length. The water temperature is a warm 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no need for a wetsuit.
After that little pulse, it drops back off. August 17th has a brief spike in energy from a NE swell, but it’s crossed up and messy. The rest of the run into the 20th is just more of the same: small, weak, and not worth paddling out for. If you’re desperate, the 14th and 15th are your only real chance to get wet, but keep your expectations low.
Rusty out.

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.
