Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half is pretty flat and sad. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch from now until around the 24th of July. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday the 25th of July. That afternoon, Waikiki (Oahu) finally gets a bit of life. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a period of 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, long lines, good energy. The combined energy is strong at 521, so there’s some push behind it. What really makes this one stand out is the wind: a gentle offshore breeze from the SW, keeping the surface clean and glassy. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The swell direction is a touch off the optimum, but with that offshore wind and clean conditions, it’s going to be worth the wait. At 5ft, it’s a solid size for most, but not too big for a confident beginner.
Before that, the 23rd and 24th of July see a pulse of bigger swell – 6ft to 6ft from the ESE – but the wind is onshore and choppy, so the quality is poor. That’s more of a messy, blown-out situation. Not worth getting excited about.
Then on Saturday the 25th, that afternoon window is the one to circle. Clean, gentle offshore wind, 5ft of long-period groundswell, and the combined energy is strong at 521. It’s a proper session. The next morning, Sunday the 26th, the swell jumps to 7ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and the energy is very high at 955 – that’s a lot of power, but the chop will make it a battle. That one’s for the experienced crew only.
So, bottom line: the first two weeks are a write-off. The standout is Saturday afternoon, the 25th of July, at Waikiki. Clean, offshore, and a solid groundswell. That’s your window.
Rusty.

Information about the Waikiki Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waikiki provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waikiki can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waikiki 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 (Waikiki) 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 Waikiki 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.
