Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waiehu beach park over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s look at Waiehu beach park. It’s a reef-and-point break, consistent, and open to the swell, so it usually has some surf. But I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this 16-day forecast is a flat bust. From July 10th all the way to the 25th, every session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, dead stretch with no good days.
The wind is the killer. A constant cross-onshore breeze out of the ENE, blowing 9 to 16 mph most days, is just gonna trash the surface and keep it choppy. The swell is coming from the same ENE direction, which isn’t the sweet spot for this break—it really wants a NNE swell to get going. Swell heights run from 3 ft up to 7 ft, but with short periods of 6 to 8 seconds, it’s all weak, wind-chop. The wave energy numbers sit between 170 and 443, so moderate at best, but none of it turns into anything rideable with that wind.
Water temp is 79°F, right around average for the time of year—nothing unusual.
There’s no standout to pick. July 12th has the highest energy (439 to 443) with a 7 ft swell at 8 seconds, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. Honestly, that setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. And July 19th has a 6 ft swell, ENE, 8 seconds, with the wind easing to a gentle breeze at 9 mph—still cross-on, so still fair-to-middling.
It’s a consistent spot normally, but this 16-day run is just a washout. Forecasts can shift, but for now, I’d say don’t bother suiting up. No highlights here.
Catch you next time.

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.
