The Lowdown
Waiehu beach park is all we’ve got to work with, and for the first several days, it’s a total write-off. Sunday the 26th through Tuesday the 28th is a complete mess. We’ve got a persistent cross-onshore wind from the NE, blowing 20 to 30 km/h, turning the ocean into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell is mostly from the east, with a period around 13 to 15 seconds, so there’s some long-period energy in the water, but it’s all directed at the beach and the wind is just ruining it. The combined energy is moderate to strong (674 to 2686), but it’s all wasted. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
Then, on Wednesday morning, July 29th, the stars finally align for a few hours. The wind drops completely, going glassy out of the SSW at just 5 km/h. The swell holds at a solid 2.0m from the NE, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (710), but it’s the clean, glassy conditions that make this the standout. The water is a balmy 27°C, which is pretty normal for the time of year – nothing weird there. This is the one. The only one. The break is a reef and point setup, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely. It’s consistent, but expect crowds – it’s often packed. For the morning session, this is the best on offer, no question.
After that, it’s back to the grind. Wednesday afternoon the wind swings back onshore, and from Thursday July 30th all the way through to Monday August 10th, it’s the same old story: cross-onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and poor surf. The swell drops and the period shortens, making it weak and weak. The combined energy drops to a weak 101 to 858. There’s one morning on Monday, August 3rd, where the swell pops back up to 0.9m from the east with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore and the score is marginal at best. Not worth holding your breath for.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the whole 16-day window looks like a playground with that consistent cross-on wind. But for a paddle surfer? You’ve got one window: Wednesday morning, July 29th. Get out there early, because it’s the only clean wave you’re going to see for a while.
