The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what this stretch of coastline has cookin' for the next couple of weeks. We've got a lot of onshore wind and choppy conditions in the pipeline, so don't expect a clean session any time soon.
The first little pulse of energy arrives around Friday the 4th of September. The swell bumps up to about 8ft from the ENE (combined energy of 1567). The wind is still blowing onshore from the NE, so it's going to be choppy – only worth it if you're desperate for a paddle and don't mind the mess.
The weekend of the 5th brings some size, but it's a tricky one. Saturday morning the 5th has a solid 7ft of long-period groundswell from the ENE (13-second period, combined energy of 1545). The wind is cross-shore from the SE, and with that long period, this beach-and-river setup will be sectiony and hard to read. For the kiters and windfoilers, this is looking way more fun than for paddle surfers.
Sunday the 6th is your best bet in this whole outlook. The swell is a bit smaller at 5ft from the E (12-second period, combined energy 791). The afternoon sees a light NE breeze and 5ft of E swell – it's not glassy, but it's the cleanest we'll see. This is the window to aim for.
Come Tuesday the 8th of September, the swell jumps again to a heavy 8ft to 8ft from the ENE (combined energy up to 1493). The period is a solid 11 seconds. That's a lot of water moving, and with a consistent NE onshore wind, it's going to be a messy, powerful beast. Only for the experts who can handle a pounding.
Wednesday the 9th offers a slight reprieve. The swell is around 8ft from the NE (9-second period), and the wind goes light and cross-onshore from the E. It'll be bumpy, but for those who like a big, lumpy wave, it's at least ridable.
From there, the second week drops off hard. From the 10th to the 14th of September, we're looking at small, onshore slop. Swell heights drop under 4ft, the winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy values are well under 500. Honestly, it's just not worth getting wet.
So, bottom line: the only real standout is that Sunday afternoon the 6th of September. It's not a classic Honolii day, but with the cleanest wind of the whole run and a bit of energy, you might scratch out a few fun ones. The rest is mostly a bust for surfing, unless you're on a kite or a foil.
Rusty.
