The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Waiehu Beach Park is a pretty grim affair. Normally, a spot that's consistent can bounce back quick, but the models are showing a long, stubborn stretch of messy conditions.
Things start off Tuesday the 28th with some serious size, but it's a trap. We've got a solid 8ft to 8ft easterly swell rolling in, with a massive 2136 combined energy. The problem is the wind is howling onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, and the whole setup is labelled marginal at best. Wednesday the 29th is a little smaller, dropping to 5ft, and the wind goes light and cross-shore, but again, the surf quality is rated as "marginal" and not worth paddling out for.
Then the real drought hits. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 12th of August, the forecast is a monotonous run of "poor surf conditions." The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing cross-onshore at 9 to 19 mph, keeping the surface choppy and lumpy. The swell sticks around but it's all windswell, short period (mostly 8 seconds) and low energy, with combined energy values staying under 1000. The highlighted break, a reef and point, is an exposed spot, and with this persistent onshore flow, it's going to be a mess. Honestly, for a lot of that time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
There are no standout days. Not a single one. The best on offer is the Wednesday morning session, but it's still a "marginal" call. If you absolutely have to get wet, that's your best bet, but keep your expectations on the floor. There's a long gap of over a week with no real recommendations, so save your energy and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
