Uchizuma Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Uchizuma.

Alright, first things first, Uchizuma is a beginner-friendly wave that's inconsistent, so it needs a bit of luck to turn on. The water temp is sittin' at 83° which is about average for this time of year, nice and warm.

The next week or so is pretty average, with small, weak swells. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd have some glassy mornings with surf around 3ft to 3ft, but the energy is weak (175 and 155), so it's more of a paddle-around session than anything with real punch. Saturday afternoon and Sunday are a write-off with onshore winds.

Now, Monday the 24th morning is where things get interesting. We've got a 5ft swell from the SE with a *very* long period of 19 seconds. The energy jumps to 2114, which is moderate and felt. The wind is glassy. This is a standout. That long-period groundswell is going to wrap in nicely, especially for a point or reef. For a beach break, that period might make it a bit too straight, but Uchizuma is fairly exposed, so it could still offer some clean, lined-up waves. It's a solid beginner option, but that energy and length mean it'll have more push.

Tuesday the 25th though... the swell pumps up to 13ft in the morning and 15ft in the afternoon. That is expert-only territory. The combined energy is massive (8733 and 10042). It's just too big for this break, so unless you're on a gun and charging, give it a miss.

Wednesday and Thursday (26th & 27th) stay big, with 12ft to 8ft swells, but the wind goes onshore or cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. Not worth it for paddling, but with that much wind and swell, it's looking more interesting for kite surfing.

By Friday the 28th morning, the swell drops back to 8ft, the wind goes glassy again, and the energy is 820. This is another winner. It's a touch big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it'll have some good, clean waves. The risk of thunderstorms is there, but if you get out in the morning, it'll be worth it.

Saturday the 29th morning is small again at 4ft, but with a flat calm wind (0 km/h) and glassy conditions, it'll be a fun little longboard session.

The start of September looks pretty quiet, with small, onshore conditions, until Thursday the 3rd of September. That morning, a new swell arrives: 8ft from the ESE with a massive 20-second period and energy of 5979. The wind is light cross-on. It's a promising but less certain long-range call. That's a big, powerful groundswell. For a reef or point, it'd be dreamy, but for Uchizuma, it might be too much for the break and could be straight. The afternoon gets even bigger at 12ft, so only for the big-wave crew.

So, overall, the best bets are Monday the 24th morning and Friday the 28th morning. The first one has that long-period, glassy magic, and the second is a solid, clean swell. Tuesday the 25th and Thursday the 3rd are for experts only.
