The Lowdown
Alright folks, ol' Rusty here with a look at what's cookin' for the next couple weeks. We're gonna be honest with you, right now it's a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at about 80°F right now, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, July 28th, and honestly, it's a rough start. We've got a solid 10ft swell from the ENE, packing a ton of energy, but the wind is a cross-onshore mess from the north at 12 mph. It's choppy and messy. The swell drops a little through the afternoon, but the wind is still ruining it. This setup is more for the kite surfers than anyone wanting a clean paddle session. This rough patch looks set to continue for several days, right through the end of the month.
We finally get a bit of a break on Friday, July 31st, in the afternoon. The wind switches to a light onshore breeze from the NE, and the swell lifts to 6ft. It's still not perfect, but it's a damn sight better than what we've had. The real standout of the whole window, though, is Honolii Beach Park. This river-mouth break is a beginner's dream when it's on, and it's very consistent. The best bet looks to be Saturday, August 1st, in the morning. You've got a 6ft swell from the ENE with a light onshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph. The wave energy is solid and it's about as good as it's gonna get. Expect crowds, because it's often busy here, but for a beginner-friendly wave, the trade-off is worth it. Sunday the 2nd is similar in size, but the wind picks up a bit.
Looking further out, the second week is a bit more subdued. The swell drops off, and the energy is weaker. The highlight of the tail end is Monday, August 10th, in the afternoon. Honolii Beach Park goes glassy with a light 5ft swell from the NE. The wind is dead calm, and the wave energy is moderate. It's a clean, small wave session for the longboard or a fun log. The next day, Tuesday the 11th, also has some clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a little smaller. After that, it's small and ordinary right through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, August 9th. The energy is weak, and there's just not much to get excited about.
So, to wrap it up: the start is a write-off, the first weekend of August is your best bet for some size, and the second week is small and clean but not much punch. Keep an eye on that glassy spell around the 10th.
Rusty, signing off.
