The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Waiehu Beach Park is a tough watch. The whole window is painted with cross-onshore wind, and it chops up the wave face nearly every single session. It’s the kind of forecast that has you checking the cam twice and still shrugging. For the first 12 days, the rating is effectively a zero: the wind is ruining any chance of a clean face. From Thursday the 10th through to Monday the 21st of September, every morning and afternoon session is blown out with cross-onshore breezes. Swell energy is weak to moderate (values mostly between 126 and 490), and the water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year.
The standout window, if you can call it that, shows up around Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd of September. The combined energy finally jumps into strong territory (a 1593 on Tuesday morning) with a bit more size – 7ft of east swell. The period is a decent 10 seconds, so there’s some push behind it. The wind eases to a light breeze, which is about as good as it gets here, but it’s still cross-on. The rating only nudges to a 2, meaning it’s marginal surf. At 7ft, this is pushing into more advanced territory for the beach-and-reef setup.
Honestly, for paddle surfing, there’s no day I’d get excited about. The combination of onshore wind and consistent chop makes this look more like a kite surfer’s window than a surfers. The crowd factor at Waiehu Beach Park is listed as ‘often’, so you’d be fighting for a piece of mediocre wave. If you’re desperate for a paddle and the wind drops, the 22nd morning is the only time I’d even bother. But I’d keep my expectations real low.
Rusty.
