Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waiehu beach park over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell you straight – the 16-day window ahead is a real test of patience for anyone around here. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of poor surf conditions starting now and going all the way through to about Friday the 25th of July. Almost every session is hammered by cross-onshore winds, and the swell is all short-period, choppy junk.
The only break in the lineup is Waiehu beach park. It’s a reef and point setup that’s consistent and good for beginners, but the wind has it locked in a cross-on pattern day after day. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
From Saturday the 11th of July right through to the morning of Friday the 24th of July, it’s a write-off. Every morning and afternoon shows poor surf conditions, with wave heights bouncing between 3 ft and 6 ft, but the period is mostly stuck at 6 to 8 seconds – that’s short-period, weak, wind-driven slop. The wind is a steady 12 to 16 mph from the ENE or NE, always cross-on, keeping the surface choppy. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate (110 to 672 in the brackets), but the quality is consistently poor.
Now, there’s one tiny glimmer. On the morning of Saturday the 25th of July, things get a little less ugly. The swell is 5 ft from the ENE, still short period at 7 seconds, but the wind drops to a light breeze from the NE at 6 mph. It’s still cross-on, but with only small wind ripples. The forecast gives this one a marginal rating, with a combined energy of 216 (weak). It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only window where the wind isn’t completely ruining it. That Saturday afternoon the wind switches to onshore, so stick to the morning.
The standout? Honestly, there’s no true standout here. If you’re desperate, that Saturday the 25th of July morning at Waiehu beach park is your best bet, but keep expectations low. The rest of the run is a blank stretch of poor conditions. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.

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.
