The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks look pretty grim around here. The finder’s come up empty-handed; not a single recommendation in the whole 16-day window. That’s a big ol’ zero. So, we’re not talking about any standout sessions, because there just aren't any.
We’ve only got one spot in the mix, Waiehu Beach Park, a reef and point setup that’s usually a consistent beginner-friendly wave. But the problem is the wind. It’s pinned from the ENE for the entire forecast, blowing straight cross-on, which is just wrecking any chance of clean surf. From Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s a constant story of “poor surf conditions.” The combined wave energy fluctuates a bit – dipping as low as 143 (weak) and cranking up to 556 (moderate) – but it doesn't matter for squat with that onshore chop. It’s looking far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
Swell sizes hang around the 4ft to 6ft range, mostly from the ENE with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. Even when the period stretches to 10 seconds on the 3rd of September, and the energy jumps to 522 to 556 (moderate), the cross-onshore wind still ruins it. No glass, no offshore, just a choppy mess. The crowds are likely to be around because it’s consistent, but frankly, they’ll be sitting through the same slop.
It’s one of those blank runs that feels normal for the area when the trade winds set in like this. Keep an eye on the forecasts though, things can shift.
Rusty.

Information about the Waiehu beach park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waiehu beach park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waiehu beach park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waiehu beach park 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 (Waiehu beach park) 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 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. 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.
