Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tracks (Nanakuli) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the next two weeks.
The start is a real bummer. Tracks (Nanakuli) is getting some swell, but the wind is a strong cross-off, and the waves are barely 2 feet. The energy is low to moderate (112 to 125), and the water temp is about normal for this time of year. You're better off waxing your board at home.
Things get a little better on Friday, July 10th. The wind turns offshore, and while the swell is tiny (1.5 to 2 feet), it's clean with a 12-second period from the S. The energy is still low (115), but it's surfable. Saturday the 11th is a step up with a 2 to 2.5 foot swell from the SSW and a very long 18-second period. The energy is moderate (414), and the offshore wind is holding. That long period will give you some nice, organised lines.
The real highlight is Monday, July 20th. The wind is a clean offshore, and we've got a 2.5 to 2 foot south swell with a solid 17 to 18-second period. The energy is getting into the strong range (449 to 414). This is the best day of the whole forecast. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and the long period means you'll have time to catch your breath between sets. The crowds are "sometimes" here, so expect a few heads, but it'll be worth it.
Tuesday the 21st still has some size with a 3-foot swell from the south, but the wind goes cross-off, and the energy drops (538). It's a marginal call, but better than anything else. After that, the swell fades and the wind stays cross-off, so it's back to the flat spell.
In short: the first week is mostly a washout with a couple of small, clean windows on the 10th and 11th. The one to circle on your calendar is Monday, July 20th. That's your best shot for clean, fun waves with some real energy. The rest is just waiting.
