The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Waiehu beach park. This is a reef and point set-up that’s consistent and works best with a NNE swell direction, but what we’re seeing on the charts is a pretty tough run of conditions for the paddle crew.
The window opens with a bit of a dud. Thursday the 3rd through to Monday the 7th is mostly a write-off. We’ve got a persistent ENE cross-onshore wind, around 16 mph, that’s just chopping everything up. Swell is there, between 6 ft and 8 ft, but the quality is poor. The combined wave energy is moderate to strong (439 to 1550), but with that wind, it’s messy. Not worth your time.
Tuesday the 8th is the only real standout in the whole run. A morning S offshore breeze at 9 mph swings it clean, with swell dropping to 4 ft from the ENE. By the afternoon, the wind goes light SSE at 3 mph, becoming cross-offshore, and the waves get super clean. The swell period is short at 9-10 seconds, so it’s a bit weaker energy (484 to 519), but for a point break, this is your session. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it’s back to the grind. From Wednesday the 9th all the way through to Friday the 18th, it’s a long stretch of cross-onshore winds and poor to marginal surf. The swell size fluctuates, but the wind direction hardly lets up. A few afternoons on the 14th and 15th show a bit of a lull in wind, but the swell is still coming from the wrong direction and the period is short, so it’s not going to shape up well. The combined energy drops to moderate levels (412 to 704), and the conditions are just not there for a good paddle.
Given the persistent cross-onshore winds and the fairly exposed beach/reef set-up, this stretch is actually looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re tied to a surfboard, you’re looking at a blank run of nearly two weeks after that Tuesday window. It’s a tough one, but forecasts can change.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Waiehu beach park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waiehu beach park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waiehu beach park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waiehu beach park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Waiehu beach park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
