Waiehu beach park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer on the north shore.

Well, I gotta be straight with you—this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a blank run ahead. Looking at Waiehu beach park over the next 16 days, the conditions are just not cooperating for a proper surf. The wind is stuck in a cross-onshore groove from the ENE most of the time, and that’s keeping the surface choppy and messy. Every single session in the forecast is tagged with poor surf conditions, so we’re in for a dry spell.

From Friday the 3rd of July right through to Saturday the 18th of July, there’s no recommendation I can honestly give you. That’s over two weeks. The energy levels are moderate at best, with combined swell energy values like 268 to 370 (moderate), but with that constant cross-onshore wind, it just never cleans up. The swell is mostly from the ENE, with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, which doesn’t help—it’s all wind chop with no real shape. Even on the rare morning with a lighter breeze, like the 12th of July or the 16th of July, the swell is small, between 3ft and 4ft, and still cross-on. There’s a brief moment on the 14th of July where a long-period 15-second swell shows up from the WNW at only 1ft, but the wind is still cross-on at 15 mph, so it’s not going to do anything worthwhile.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit if you do go for a paddle, but honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with that steady ENE blow. The break itself is a reef and point setup, consistent, and exposed to the NNE optimum, but the wind is just wrong for it. Crowds are often here, but with conditions this poor, you probably won’t find many takers.

Hang in there, though. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat and choppy for long.
