The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let's see what's cooking. Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you—right now, the surf stakes are looking pretty bleak. We've got Waiehu beach park on the table, but for the next week and a half, it's a write-off. The wind is locked in from the east-northeast, smashing cross-on shore all day, every day, and the swell is short-period, choppy, and weak in the water. The combined energy is barely dribbling along, mostly in the 200 to 500 range (moderate, at best), and the report is calling it "poor surf conditions" right through.
From Monday, August 24th, all the way to September 4th, it's the same story: a messy 4ft to 6ft of wind-affected slop. Not a single clean window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't get any thermal consolation prize.
For the first mention of Waiehu beach park, it's a reef and point setup, usually consistent, and it's exposed to NNE swell. The optimum direction is NNE, but the swell is coming from the east and ENE—wrong angle. It's a beginner-friendly wave, but the onshore wind will make it a frustrating battle.
Now, a little spark of hope arrives on Sunday, September 6th. The morning is still poor, but the afternoon gets bumped up to "marginal." All of a sudden, on September 7th (Monday), we see a 7ft NE swell rolling in with a period bumping to 11 seconds. The wind drops to a light breeze, only 6 mph, still cross-on, but far less choppy. The combined energy hits 936, which is a healthy, moderate punch. The wave comment upgrades to a rating of 2 out of 10—that's the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. Still not perfect, but it’s the only time you'll get a real wave face to work with. If you're desperate for a paddle, that Monday afternoon is your one and only standout. Keep in mind, with an 11-second period, it'll have a bit more shape and energy, and paddling out won't be as much of a fight. But it's still cross-on, so don't expect perfection.
Bottom line: don't bother for the first two weeks. Mark your calendar for Monday, September 7th afternoon, and cross your fingers the wind holds.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Waiehu beach park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
