Honolii Beach Park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Well, to be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty average for us here. While there’s surf on the horizon, the conditions are going to be a bit of a battle for most of the run. The early part is a write-off, but there’s a glimmer of something half-decent further out.

The first few days are a no-go. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to Friday the 24th, the conditions are just poor. We’ve got a 4ft to 5ft Easterly swell, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the period is short and weak. The wave energy is low to moderate (between 157 and 463), and the water temp is right about average for this time of year, so nothing special there. You’re better off staying dry.

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th still aren’t anything to get excited about. The swell dips a bit, then bumps up to 5ft to 5ft, but it’s still a poor-to-marginal call. The period jumps to 15 seconds on Sunday, which is a nice long groundswell, and the energy gets strong (1051 to 1168), but onshore winds are going to chop it up. It’s just not clean.

Now, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are the best we’ve got on offer. The swell picks up to a solid 6ft to 7ft from the East-Northeast, with a decent 12 to 14 second period. The combined energy is strong to very strong (1353 to 1638). This is a legit sized swell. The problem is the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit messy. This is a standout only because it’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the window, but you’ll need to be an experienced surfer to handle it. It’s borderline too big for beginners. The crowd factor at Honolii Beach Park is often an issue, so expect company. The water temp is still about average for the time of year.

After that, it fades again. Wednesday the 29th through to Saturday the 1st of August is back to poor conditions with weak, short-period swell. There’s a bit of a pulse again on Sunday the 2nd of August with 5ft to 6ft, but it’s still marginal at best.

Then, we get another interesting blip. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August bring a 4ft to 7ft swell with a very long period of 15 to 16 seconds. The energy is strong (848 to 1411). This is a classic groundswell, which will hold up well at a river mouth break like Honolii, but the long period can make it a bit straight at the beach. The wind is light and onshore, so it might clean up. It’s a long-range call, so don’t lock it in, but it’s one to watch. The water temp is still about average.

The very last day, Thursday the 6th of August, is just a marginal fade-out.

So, to sum it up: the only real window to paddle is Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, but you’ll be battling the wind and the crowd. It’s not a classic, but it’s all we’ve got.

Rusty.
