The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for Waiehu beach park. The heart wants what it wants, but the ocean is sending us a lot of side-shore chop.
Overall, we're looking at a persistent, onshore wind pattern that's going to keep things messy. The swell direction is all wrong, coming from the ENE and NE, while this break really wants NNE for that clean, groomed look. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing to get excited about there.
Starting Thursday the 27th of August through to the 3rd of September, it's a write-off. You’ve got chest-high swell, around 4 ft to 5 ft, but it's short-period windswell and the wind is cross-on. The combined energy sits between 156 and 461 (moderate), but it's all wasted energy. Choppy, bumpy, no good.
Then we get a little bit of a change from the 4th of September. The swell gets a bit of a pulse from the east, and the period stretches out to 11 seconds. The combined energy climbs up to 480 on the Friday morning, but with a light NNE wind that’s just onshore. It’s still marginal at best. Friday the 4th afternoon sees a 12-second period and 514 energy, but it’s still cross-on. It’s barely a blip on the radar.
From the 5th of September through to the 11th, the swell stays in that 4 ft to 5 ft range with periods around 10 to 11 seconds. The wind finally lightens up, but it stays cross-on. The energy gets high towards the end—644 to 674 on the 10th of September—but the swell direction is still E/ENE, not the magic NNE we need. It’s frustrating to see that much energy (moderate to strong) with nowhere clean to go.
Honestly, there's no standout here. Not a single session I’d paddle out for with excitement. If you’re desperate, the morning of Friday the 4th might offer a glimmer with the 11-second period and light wind, but it’s a gamble. The best you can say is the water is average temperature for this time of year, so it’s not a total misery.
It’s a long dry spell. Sometimes the surf just doesn’t show, and this is one of those times for Waiehu.
