The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Oahu North Shore over this stretch. The first thing you notice is that the first week is pretty quiet and messy from a surfing point of view, but we do have a few mornings that clean up. The standout, and I mean the real standout, is the 27th of August morning at Velzyland.
Alright, let’s get into it. The forecast period kicks off on the 16th of August with a small, weak ESE swell at 5 feet but a pathetic 6-second period, so it’s just bumpy and weak—wave energy is only 526. It’s not worth paddling out for. The 17th and 18th are pretty much the same story: small knee-to-waist high swell with ESE/E directions and onshore wind, so nothing doing.
The 19th through the 22nd sees the swell drop right off, with heights falling to 0.7 feet to 3 feet, but the wind stays strong or cross-shore, making it choppy. The energy is weak, in the single digits to just over 100. Honestly, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup on those afternoons than a proper surf session. The water temp is 73°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Now, the morning of the 25th of August brings some hope. That early session sees a 6 feet SE swell with a 7-second period and clean conditions thanks to light north winds (cross-off). The wave energy jumps to 384. That’s surfable and alright for intermediate crew, but it’s not the top call because the wind goes onshore again by the afternoon.
But the real golden window is the morning of Thursday, the 27th of August. We get a solid 7 feet E swell with a reasonable 8-second period, and the wind is a light WSW cross-off, just about glassy clean. The wave energy is pumping at 818. This is a proper groundswell that will hold up well at Velzyland (North Shore). It’s going to have some push, about head-high-plus, with good shape. For a reef, the longer period (11 seconds or more) would make it a bit straight at a beach, but for a point or reef, this is prime. This is the pick of the whole 16-day run for anyone who can handle a bit of size. If you’re a beginner, 7 feet is getting a bit full-on, but intermediates and above will be loving it. The water temp is around 73°, so still normal.
There’s a bit of other surf on the 29th and 31st, but it’s small and cross-shore or lumpy. The 27th morning is the one to circle. Don’t miss it.

Information about the Velzyland Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Velzyland provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Velzyland can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Velzyland surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Velzyland) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Velzyland may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
