Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waiehu beach park over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We're looking at Waiehu beach park on the north shore. It's a reef and point setup, best with a NNE swell direction, but we're not getting any of that. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special there.
The problem is a persistent, moderate ENE cross-onshore wind that just won't quit. For the first week, from Thursday the 9th right through to Sunday the 19th, it's the same story. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is about as wrong as it gets for this spot. We're looking at a consistent 5ft to 8ft of short-period, weak-to-moderate energy slop, all chopped up by that wind. It's a block of poor surf conditions with zero recommendations. Don't even bother.
There's a slight shift on Monday the 20th. The energy jumps up significantly and the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds, coming from the east. This is the only standout in the whole run. The swell is small though, only about 4ft, so it won't be big, but that long period groundswell has potential. The catch? It's still cross-on with a moderate breeze, so it'll be bumpy and choppy. It's a marginal surf day at best, and you'd need to be an expert to paddle out into that 16-second period swell at a beach/point break – it can be tricky.
Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are pretty much the same: small, messy, and cross-on. The energy drops back down and the period shortens. After that, the swell fades into nothing, with a tiny 2ft on Friday the 24th and energy levels dropping into the weak double digits.
Honestly, for a straight paddle, this is a write-off. If you're a kite surfer, that stretch from the 18th to the 22nd with 6ft+ of solid, choppy cross-on wind might be your jam. But for a surfboard? I'd be looking at a different island or waiting for a change in the forecast because this run is a total blank.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Waiehu beach park 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.
