Alright folks, Rusty here again with the numbers you might be more used to.
So, over the next couple of weeks for Wraps, it’s a grim picture. From Thursday, July 2nd all the way to Friday, July 17th, there’s not a single good session on offer. The whole 16-day run is riddled with poor surf.
The pattern is predictable: wind blowing from the ENE at 18 to 25 mph, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, creating lumpy, choppy, junk. The swell is short and weak, with periods of just 8 seconds or less, and sometimes down to 6 seconds. Swell heights run from about 5 ft to 7 ft, but with that wind, it’s just a mess. Combined wave energy (292 to 503) is moderate, but it’s all for nothing with the conditions.
Honestly, this is more a kite surfer’s playground than a surfer’s. If you’ve got a kite, maybe. For the rest of us? Leave the board at home.
Water temp at the start is 79°, which is normal for this time of year — anomaly is only +0.4°, so nothing special.
The only spot we’ve got is Wraps. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, fairly consistent, but it’s totally exposed to that nasty ENE wind. The ideal swell direction here is NE, but we’re stuck with ENE — not a good match. Short periods mean the waves will be dumpy and tough to ride. Crowds are possible sometimes, but honestly, with this forecast, I doubt anyone’ll be out.
So, no standouts, no hope. This kind of blank run is just par for the course in this area sometimes. Forecasts could change, but right now it’s a solid two-week skip.
Hang in there.
Rusty.

Information about the Wraps Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wraps provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wraps can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wraps 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 (Wraps) 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 Wraps 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.
Wraps is 4 km (2 miles) from Kailua. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kailua. Kailua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
