The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles per hour for you. It’s a similar story for Honolii Beach Park – a lot of waiting for the stars to align.
Starting off on Saturday the 25th, we’ve got rain and a light ENE wind blowing cross-on. The swell is only about 4ft out of the E with a short, weak 8-second period. The combined swell energy is a weak 429. Water temp is about 80°, which is normal for this time of year.
Honolii, being a river mouth, needs a clean window. For the first week, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which just messes with the surface.
Sunday the 26th morning is the most promising, but still tricky. It’s clear with a light NE onshore wind. The swell drops to 4ft, but it’s from the E with a long 14-second period, giving a combined energy of 672. There’s some potential for a shaped-up wave, but the wind will keep it from being glassy. The afternoon is a bit bigger, with 4ft and a 15-second period and energy of 850, but still onshore.
Monday the 27th the swell bumps up to 6ft with a 13-second period and a strong energy of 1267. It’s got power, but the N wind at 12 mph is cross-on, making it choppy. Tuesday the 28th brings the biggest swell of the forecast, reaching 10 to 11ft from the ENE with energy over 3000. That’s serious size, but it’s paired with a strong, choppy cross-onshore wind. Only for the experts and even then, not pretty.
From Wednesday the 29th all the way to the 9th of August, it’s a rough stretch. The surf is rated either poor or marginal. The swell hangs around between 3ft and 5ft, but the wind is always either onshore or cross-shore. There’s no real clean window.
So, no true standouts here. The biggest, most powerful swell hits on July 28th, but the wind is its enemy. If you had to pick a session, the mornings of July 26th or August 1st might give you a few long-period, rideable waves, but you’ll be dealing with some wind on the face. It’s a waiting period, but forecasts can always change for the better.
Rusty.
