Uchiumi Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Uchiumi over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a pretty quiet start. We're looking at several days of tiny, weak waves with no real energy behind them. The first half of the outlook is a bit of a flat spell, but don't lose hope—there's a proper pulse of swell trying to build in the second week, though it comes with some serious size.

The first real chance to get wet comes up on the morning of the 28th of July. The swell is still small, only around 2ft from the ESE, but the wind goes glassy, making it ridable. The energy is weak (95), so you'll be fighting for every bit of push, but it's clean. That same glassy, clean theme pops up again on the morning of the 29th, with the same small surf, but it's still small.

We've got a long stretch of small, unremarkable surf until things start to change. The morning of the 3rd of August is the first real turning point. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ESE, with a nice 12-second period, and the wind is glassy. The energy jumps to a moderate 320, and it's finally looking like a proper session. That morning is likely the best of the early window.

The real standout, though, is the 5th of August. Wednesday morning we see a solid 12ft swell from the east, with a long 18-second period. The energy is massive (8366), and the wind is light cross-onshore. This is big, powerful, groundswell. The same hits again on Wednesday afternoon with 13ft at 19 seconds, and energy over 10,000. This is not a beginner wave. With that size and long period, it's going to be a proper, heavy, expert-only affair. The 6th of August looks even bigger, with 18ft swell, but it's flagged as too big for the break. If you're a seasoned charger, the 5th is your window.

After that big pulse, the swell drops back quickly. The 7th of August sees it drop to 4ft, and the 8th brings a bit of a bump from the SSE at 5ft, but it's nothing like the earlier days.

So, looking at the whole stretch, the morning of the 3rd of August is the pick for a clean, fun, medium-sized session. But if you're looking for raw power and size, the 5th of August is the one to circle on the calendar, though it's for the experienced crew only.

Rusty.
