Table - best surf conditions forecast for Honolii Beach Park over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next stretch.
To be honest, the first week and a half is pretty much a bust for Honolii Beach Park. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf conditions with weak, short-period swell and winds that are either onshore or cross-onshore. The wave energy is low, sitting between 47 and 174 (very weak), and swell heights are hanging around 2ft to 4ft with periods of just 6 to 8 seconds. That’s not going to give you anything worth paddling out for. The water temp is 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The only real highlight in the whole 16-day window comes on Monday July 20th and Tuesday July 21st. The swell picks up with a long-period groundswell from the east, 16 seconds on Monday and 14 seconds on Tuesday. The combined energy jumps to 339 on Monday morning and 531 on Monday afternoon, hitting a peak of 552 on Tuesday morning. That’s moderate to strong energy. Swell heights are still modest, around 3ft, but that long period means the waves will have shape and power. The wind is offshore and light, which is a major positive – clean conditions. But remember, Honolii is a river mouth, and with such a long period (16 seconds), the swell might break a bit straight and fat. Still, this is the best stretch on offer. Tuesday morning looks like the standout: light offshore breeze, clean, and consistent energy.
After that, the swell drops back again into the middle of the second week, with only brief marginal moments on July 22nd and July 25th. Nothing to get excited about – the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and the periods drop back to 7-8 seconds.
So, if you want a surf, mark your calendar for Monday July 20th and Tuesday July 21st. The rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.
