Right then, let’s talk about what’s happening on the Big Island.
To be straight with you, for the next couple of weeks, Honolii Beach Park is looking pretty flat and uninviting. The swell is hanging around a small 4ft to 5ft, mostly from the ENE and NE, with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds. That means the wave energy is low to moderate (between 126 and 374), and the shape just isn’t there. On top of that, the wind is either on or cross-onshore for most of the period—that northeast trade wind is blowing straight into the bay, chopping everything up. We’ve got a solid run from now all the way through to Thursday the 16th of July where every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, frustrating gap.
The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is about 2° warmer than average for the time of year. It’s a little warmer than normal, but nothing too crazy.
Honolii Beach Park is a river mouth break, fairly exposed to the swell, but with this constant onshore wind and short-period, weak energy, it’s just not going to hold any quality. It’s a beginner-friendly spot most days, and crowds are often around, but there’s no reason to paddle out here for the next week and a half. The only tiny flicker of hope comes on Thursday the 16th of July in the afternoon, where the comment creeps up to "marginal surf forecast" with a 6ft swell from the east, period still at 8 seconds, and the energy climbing to 374 (moderate) with a very light cross-onshore breeze. It’s still not good, but it’s the least bad option in a grim stretch. Even then, it’s only for the more experienced who don’t mind a bit of chop.
After that, from Friday the 17th onward, it drops straight back into poor conditions again, with the same story: small, weak swell and onshore wind. By Monday the 20th of July, the swell disappears entirely, with no wave height recorded and zero energy. So really, there’s nothing to get excited about here at all in this 16-day window.
Hang in there, the forecasts can always change. But right now, I’d keep the board in the car and wait for a better day.
