The Lowdown
Alright crew, let's talk about Waiehu beach park. This spot is a reef and point set-up, consistent, and works well for beginners when conditions line up, with the optimum swell coming from the NNE. Looking out over the next 16 days, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak picture for most of the run.
The pattern is dominated by persistent cross-onshore winds and choppy, poor surf conditions. The first recommendation doesn't show up for a while, but we do have some sizable swell rolling through. On Tuesday, July 28th, we see the biggest push of the period with an 8ft easterly swell arriving in the morning, packing a lot of energy (2461). That size is getting into expert-only territory, but even then, the wind is on it, leaving it marginal. The swell period is short, around 13 seconds, so it’s not the cleanest groundswell you’ll ever see.
The closest thing to a standout, if you can even call it that, is Wednesday, July 29th. We get a drop in swell height to 6ft from the NE, but the wind swings light cross-shore from the ESE in the morning, which will clean things up a bit. The combined energy is moderate (470), and with light winds, the quality might be just okay for a beginner-friendly wave. It won’t be a classic, but it’s the best the window has to offer.
The water temp is pretty standard for this time of year, so no drama there.
After that, from Thursday, July 30th, right through until Monday, August 11th, it’s a long grind. Winds stay stubbornly from the ENE or E at 10 to 15 mph, blowing cross-onshore. Swell hangs around between 3ft and 7ft, but with a short, choppy period (mostly 6–8 seconds) and constant wind, the surf quality is either poor or marginal at best. The energy reads from weak (145) to moderate (857), but the wind just wrecks any chance of a clean wave. There’s really nothing to get excited about here. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a tough stretch.
In short, if you’re desperate, take a look at Wednesday the 29th. Otherwise, it might be a good time to check the wind forecasts for a change and hope things turn around.
