Waiehu beach park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Waiehu beach park.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch of July is looking pretty average for Waiehu. We’ve got a consistent run of swell, but the wind is a real buzzkill. The energy’s floating around moderate (301 to 466 range), but it’s all coming from the ENE or NE, which is exactly cross-on for this spot. The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell. That means weak, bumpy lines.

Monday the 6th kicks it off with a 6ft to 6ft ENE swell. The combined energy is 301 to 420, which is moderate, but it’s paired with a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph. Expect choppy, bumpy faces. Not worth paddling out. The wind stays onshore all through Tuesday and Wednesday, with swells holding around 5ft to 6ft and energy between 287 and 420. Thursday the 9th sees a slight drop to 5ft, but the cross-onshore wind doesn’t let up. By the weekend (11th and 12th), we get some rain showers and more of the same – 5ft to 6ft, ENE wind, and energy around 264 to 408. No good.

The only slight change comes around the 14th of July. The swell drops a little to 5ft and the wind eases to a gentle 9 mph. That will make it “fairly choppy” instead of a total mess. If you were desperate, Tuesday morning the 14th might be your best bet – it’s the cleanest we get all week. But it’s still cross-on, still short period, and the wave quality is poor.

From the 15th to the 21st, it’s more of the same story. The swell stays between 4ft and 6ft, all ENE or E, with periods never getting longer than 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, but the wind never turns truly offshore. Even on the 21st with a 6ft swell and a gentle breeze, the cross-on wind ruins any real quality.

So, honestly, there are no standout days this whole run. The wind is the problem – it’s locked in from the ENE, which is right in our face. If you’ve got a kite, this is a better setup for that. For a paddle surfer, you’ll want to wait for a different wind pattern. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

It’s a tough look, folks. We might get a couple of slightly less bumpy mornings, but nothing clean. No waves to get excited about for the next two weeks.

Rusty.
