The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down this extended forecast for Honolii Beach Park.
It's looking like a pretty grim stretch, to be honest. We kick off Sunday the 13th and go through the entire first week with nothing but small, junky waves. The wind is mostly on it or chopping it up. The water is a warm 27.3°, right about what you expect for this time of year, but it doesn't matter much when there's nothing to surf.
There's a single window of opportunity late in the game. On Wednesday morning, the 23rd, we finally see some power. The combined swell energy jumps to 1548, which is a strong pulse, and the swell comes up to a head-high 2.5m. The wind looks to be light and offshore, which would make for some clean, heavy waves. That size is strictly for experienced surfers. The swell is from the East, which isn't the absolute best angle for this river mouth, but with that much size and no wind, it'll be the best we see.
Mark Wednesday morning, the 23rd, as your only real chance. It's a one-day wonder. After that, it fades back to small and messy conditions again.

A general guide to surfing at Honolii Beach Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
