Tainohama Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Tainohama’s got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are some proper moments to get excited about.

Right off the bat, Thursday the 3rd is pretty average with a cross-on breeze and only 4ft of short-period SSE swell. The water’s sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not much to write home about, so we'll sit tight.

Friday the 4th sees a little more size, around 5ft, but that strong cross-off wind is gonna make it messy. Not the best.

Things start to look up on Sunday the 6th. The morning offers 5ft from the ESE with a gentle breeze, clean lines. But the afternoon is where it’s at: 7ft of east swell, period bumping up to 10 seconds, and the wind drops to a slight air. The wave energy is solid at 844 (moderate). This is a standout session – clean, punchy, and just the right size for a good go.

Monday the 7th morning is the absolute pick of the week. We get a full offshore breeze from the north, 7ft of ESE groundswell at 9 seconds, and it’s glassy clean. The energy is strong at 716. This is a proper session for the advanced crew – long period, well-shaped waves. Just be aware, this break can see a crowd sometimes.

Tuesday the 8th afternoon is another beauty – 6ft from the SE, 10-second period, light breeze, very clean. Another one to pencil in.

Now, a heads-up for Wednesday the 9th through Friday the 11th: the wind plays games, swinging onshore at times, so pick your windows. Thursday the 10th morning has a 5ft SE swell with a moderate offshore – good for a sneaky session.

We get a dry spell through the middle of the second week, with small, ordinary surf. Then, on Monday the 14th, things pick back up with 4ft clean ESE swell on a light breeze.

Tuesday the 15th morning offers a real treat: 6ft from the ESE, only a 7-second period, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. It’ll be clean, but that short period means it might be a bit walled up at spots. The afternoon jumps to 8ft but the cross-on wind kills it.

The big news is Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got serious size – 10ft in the morning, blowing up to 13ft in the afternoon from the S with a very long 12-second period. The wave energy is massive at 4477 (very strong). This is expert-only territory, and the cross-on wind in the afternoon will make it a beast. Only for the brave.

We finish off the outlook with Thursday the 17th morning – a clean, glassy 5ft from the south. A nice, calm way to wrap it up.

The standout? Without a doubt, Monday the 7th morning. That offshore wind, the 7ft clean groundswell, and the perfect conditions. Get on it.

Rusty.
