Hellesto Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Hellesto. This spot is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that loves a good WNW swell. The water’s running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 61°F with a 2°F anomaly – nothing crazy, just a little extra comfort.

Now, the next 16 days are a mixed bag. We’ve got a real dry spell to start. The first surfable moment comes early Sunday morning, July 19 – a small 3ft WNW swell with glassy conditions and light offshore wind. It’s rideable but very ordinary, not much to write home about. After that, things go quiet for the rest of the day and through the following week. A whole lot of cross-onshore wind and choppy junk – you’d be better off checking the surf forecast again later.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday, July 25 afternoon. A 5ft W swell rolls in with a 10-second period, and the wind turns light onshore. The combined energy climbs to 973 – that’s moderate-high energy. It’s marginal, but there’s something there. However, for a beginner spot, 5ft might be pushing it – a bit too much for learners.

Then comes the standout. Sunday, July 26 afternoon is the pick of the window. The swell drops to a clean 2ft from the W with a 10-second period, and the wind goes light cross-offshore from the south. That’s glassy, clean conditions. Combined energy sits at 202 – modest but enough to push a fun little wave. The wind is light, the waves are small, and it’s perfect for a beginner to get some practice. The break is fairly consistent, so you won’t be waiting around forever. Just keep in mind crowds are sometimes a thing here, but with conditions like this, it’s likely to be a pleasant session.

After that, the forecast turns sour again – more cross-onshore winds and small, messy waves through the end of July and into early August. Nothing worth chasing. So if you’re keen, aim for that Sunday afternoon, July 26. It’s not a massive swell, but it’s clean and fun.

Rusty out.
