Waiehu beach park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s be real – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for surf. We’ve got a big blank stretch from the start of the period all the way through early September, with no good options. The only spot in the mix is Waiehu beach park, a reef and point that breaks consistently, but the wind and swell just aren’t cooperating.

From Saturday, August 29th, through the end of the month, it’s all poor surf. Swell is running 5 ft to 6 ft from the ENE with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak to moderate, in the low to mid 200s to 400s. The wind is a steady 12 mph cross-onshore from the ENE, keeping things choppy and messy. Water temp is about average for the season, nothing unusual.

The first week of September is more of the same, with a small bump on Monday, September 7th – a 8 ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period and strong energy around 1510. But it’s still cross-onshore, and conditions are only marginal, not good. That size is for experts only, and with the chop, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

The real standout is Wednesday, September 9th in the afternoon. The wind drops to a glassy 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 6 ft from the ENE with an 8-second period and combined energy of 460. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions,” and that’s your window. It’s a consistent spot, and crowds are often there, so you’ll have company. The short period means the waves won’t have a ton of power, but with clean conditions, you’ll get some fun ones.

After that, from Thursday, September 10th right through to the end of the 16 days, it’s back to poor surf with cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. The long-range stuff on September 12th shows a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a 16-second period, but that’s too small and the wind is still bad. It’s a tough run, but that Wednesday afternoon is the only real chance to score.
