The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Waiehu beach park.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. The wind is stuck in a cross-on pattern from the ENE, making everything choppy and messy. Swell is small, around 3ft to 6ft, and the period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so the waves will be weak and lacking any punch. The combined energy readings are all in the moderate range (144 to 686), but it’s just not coming together with the wind. You’ll be fighting a bumpy surface, so it’s not worth paddling out.

The water temperature is sitting at a warm 79°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the water feels good.

We’ve got a long gap of poor surf with no real windows of opportunity from Friday the 17th of July right through to the end of the month. The best we can say is that the swell tries to pick up around the 23rd, with a 5ft swell from the ENE and a longer period of 11 seconds, but the cross-on wind kills it.

Now, there is a glimmer of hope in the first week of August. The standout is the morning of Monday the 27th of July. Swell bumps up to 6ft from the E, with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 2188. The wind is still cross-on, but lighter, so it’s a marginal call. This is a long-period groundswell, which can be a bit straight at a beach break, but Waiehu is a reef and point setup, so it could harness that energy. It’s a promising, but not certain, sign.

Then Tuesday the 28th of July morning holds similar potential with 7ft from the E and a 14-second period, and energy at 1862. The wind is still cross-on, but again, lighter. For a beginner-friendly spot, 7ft is getting a bit punchy, but it’s still manageable.

If you’re an expert, the morning of Saturday the 25th of July has a 6ft ENE swell with an 8-second period and energy at 555, but it’s choppy. The real standouts for the more experienced are the Monday and Tuesday morning windows with the bigger groundswell. The crowds here are often, so expect company, especially if it cleans up.

Overall, the first ten days are pretty grim. The forecast can change, but for now, mark your calendar for the 27th and 28th of July for the best chance of something with a pulse.

Rusty.
