The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple weeks.
First up, let's talk water temp – we're sittin' on a balmy 81°F with a tiny anomaly of 0.4°F, so pretty much spot on for this time of year. Nice and warm.
Right then, the honest truth is, we’re in for a bit of a dry spell. The first real surf option doesn’t show up until Wednesday, September 23rd. That’s over a week of pretty average conditions. From Sunday the 13th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd, it's just a grind of poor surf – waist to chest high stuff, cross-onshore breeze every day, and the energy is weak to moderate. The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions". There's no point trickin' yourself.
The one window that stands out, and it’s only a glimmer, is the morning of Wednesday, September 23rd at Waiehu beach park. We get a pulse of 8ft from the East with a period that stretches out to 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 1234, which is strong. That's a proper push of water. Now, the catch – the wind is still a cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph, so it won't be glassy perfection. But with that much size and longer period, the shape will be way better than anything else we've seen. For this spot, the optimum swell direction is NNE, and the swell is coming out of the East, so it's a little off-angle. Still, it's the only day that even gets a marginal call, and 8ft is still manageable for a confident intermediate.
After that little spike, it drops back down and the cross-onshore wind stays on us all the way to the end of the period. There's a late shift on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th where the swell flips to the NW with a long period, but the wave comment still says poor. That NW energy might be too straight for the beach, and the wind hasn't sorted itself out.
So, to sum it up – if you've got the patience, the morning of Wednesday the 23rd is the standout. It's not perfect, but it’s the only show in town. Everything else, you're better off waiting for the next forecast update. The ocean is just not cooperating for paddle surfing right now.
Rusty.

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.
