The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty quiet spell. The first solid chance of a wave doesn't really show up until the afternoon of Saturday, the 3rd of August, and even then it’s only small. Before that, from Friday the 31st of July right through the morning of the 3rd, it’s mostly poor surf with tiny, weak swell. The water is sitting at about 80°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout period, if you can call it that, looks to be around the 9th and 10th of August. That Sunday afternoon the 9th, we get a bit of a pulse. Tracks (Nanakuli) should see some waist-high waves, around 2ft, coming from the SSW with a nice long period of 18 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, full of energy (419), and with the wind swinging offshore, those waves are going to be clean. It’s a consistent spot, so you won’t be waiting forever between sets, but it is exposed to the west swell, so it’ll handle that direction well. The following day, Monday the 10th of August, is looking even better in the morning. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, still with a good 16-second period and a pile of energy (546). The wind is a bit of a cross-shore in the morning, making it a little lumpy, but the afternoon cleans right up with a cross-off breeze. That Monday afternoon could be the best of the whole run.
After that, things get a bit messy again. The swell sticks around for the second week, pushing up to 4ft by the 15th of August, but the wind stays stubbornly cross-off or cross-shore, and the conditions are consistently described as marginal. There’s a lot of energy in the water (over 500 at times), but the quality just isn’t there for a clean, easy session. The period from the 11th onwards is a lot of swell, but with that wind, it’s going to be a bit of a battle for a good wave.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best bet is that Sunday afternoon the 9th and Monday the 10th of August. Monday afternoon looks the cleanest, so pencil that in. The second week has the size but not the quality, so it’s one for the die-hards or the kite crew.
Rusty.
