Honolii Beach Park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s headed our way for Honolii Beach Park.

We’ve got a decent pulse of ENE groundswell rolling in to start the period, but honestly, the opening act is the only real show in town for the next 16 days. The rest of the window looks pretty flat and messy, so you’ll want to make the most of what’s on offer early on.

Sunday, September 6th – Afternoon: This is your standout window. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell out of the ENE with a juicy 12-second period, so there’s proper energy in the water (1243 – moderate wave energy). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, which is going to keep things clean. The water temp is a warm 81° – right around average for this time of year, so no worries there. Honolii is a river mouth break, and with this long-period groundswell, expect well-shaped lines, though it might wall up a bit on the sandbars. This one’s for the bag – get on it.

Monday, September 7th: The swell drops a touch to 6 ft with the same 12-second period, but the wind swings SE and picks up to 12-16 mph, putting a cross-chop on it. Not the cleanest by any stretch, and the morning is rated marginal, while the afternoon goes poor.

Tuesday, September 8th through to the end of the period: Honestly, it’s a long stretch of small, weak, or onshore slop. Swell drops below 5 ft, period shortens to 10 seconds or less after that, and the combined wave energy falls into the weak to moderate range (from 867 down to 45 by mid-September). Winds stay cross or cross-onshore most days, with only a few light wind windows, but the swell just isn’t there to do anything with. There’s a gap of *several days* here where there’s really nothing worth paddling out for. From the 9th right through to the 21st, the forecasts show poor to marginal conditions at best. A few days around the 19th and 20th show 4-5 ft E swell with 8-second period, but with moderate to gentle cross-shore breezes, it’s not going to shape up.

So, to sum it up: Sunday afternoon, September 6th is your one real shot at some quality. After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch. Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change, but right now, it looks like a waiting game.

Rusty.
