The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's coming up for Honolii Beach Park.
Overall, it's a bit of a slow start for the next couple of weeks. The surf is going to be pretty lackluster for a while, with a long stretch of poor conditions. You'll be looking at a lot of small, weak, and onshore-slanted waves. The water temp is sitting around 80°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit can stay in the car.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn't pop up until the morning of Sunday, August 9th. We'll see a pulse of swell from the east at 6ft, but it's a short-period 8 second windswell and the wind is a cross-onshore, so it's going to be a bit of a mess. The combined energy is moderate (386). I'd call it a marginal session at best, and the tide might throw a spanner in the works.
Honestly, the best bet in the whole 16-day window is the very last session. On Monday afternoon, August 17th, we get a glimmer of hope. The swell from the east-northeast picks up to 7ft with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 538 (moderate). The real kicker is the wind – it's forecast to go glassy. That means the river mouth setup could actually clean up nicely. It's a fairly exposed spot, but with offshore winds, it might just offer a few fun ones. The swell direction is matching the optimum.
For the rest of the run, the surf is just too small, too weak, and the wind is never right. There are days with a little bit of size, like the 6ft on the morning of August 15th, but the wind is cross-onshore and the energy is weak to moderate (375). It's just not worth the paddle. The entire period from August 2nd up to August 9th is a no-go zone, and the week after that is mostly flat and choppy. A few of the later sessions, like the 6ft swell on August 16th and 17th mornings, are marked as marginal, but they’re still cross-shore or cross-onshore. It’s a tough stretch.
The standout here is that Monday afternoon, August 17th. If you can get on it when the glass hits, it could be the only real window of fun. Everything else is a wait-and-see.
