Waiehu beach park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the next 16 days for this stretch. To be straight with you, it's a tough outlook. The wind is locked in from the east-northeast, blowing cross-on shore, and that's making a mess of things. We're looking at a long stretch of choppy, poor surf conditions. It's not a total write-off, but patience is the name of the game.

For this whole period, the only break on the cards is Waiehu Beach Park. It's a reef and point set-up that's consistently breaking, but that on-shore wind is the enemy.

The immediate run from Sunday the 12th through to Thursday the 17th is just no good. The swell is up around 4 ft to 6 ft, which isn't tiny, but the wind is 9 to 16 mph from the ENE, destroying any chance of a clean wave. The combined energy is moderate, hitting a peak of 453 on Sunday afternoon, but it's all wasted with that on-shore chop. This is pure grumpy, blown-out surf.

We get a little window of potential on the 20th and 21st – that's a Sunday and Monday over a week away. The swell drops right back but the period jumps up to 15 seconds. A long-period groundswell like that can find a groove at a point break like Waiehu. The waves are tiny at 2 ft and 3 ft, but that long period might just offer up a few clean lines if the wind ever lets up. The combined energy is still decent, over 400, showing there's some push there. It's a promise, not a guarantee, but it's the best hint of quality we've got.

After that, we slide back into more average conditions with short period, on-shore slop for the final days. It's not looking pretty. For now, if I had to pick a standout, it'd be Monday the 20th into Tuesday morning for those couple of small, long-period pulses. It's not for beginners given the fickleness of a long-period swell, but for a patient surfer at a point, it could be the only clean look in the whole 16 days.

Rusty.
