Honolii Beach Park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get real. The next 16 days at Honolii Beach Park are a bummer, plain and simple. This river-mouth spot just isn't doing anything for us. For the first stretch, there’s absolutely nothing. No swell, bad winds, and the report is a total zero. You’re looking at a big dry spell from now until the end of the month. Don’t even look at your board.

Come Tuesday, the 1st of September, the swell starts to push up a foot or two, reaching around 5ft to 5ft, but it’s still onshore and junky. The energy is building, but the quality is still poor. Not a day for the log.

Then the ocean properly wakes up on the 3rd. We get a solid groundswell from the east with sets jumping to 8ft and even hitting 10ft. The power meter is off the charts, reaching values like 1602 and climbing to 2165. That’s some serious, heavy water. But here’s the kicker: the wind is screaming out of the north, hitting us cross-onshore and turning everything into a rough, lumpy mess. The period is up to 12 seconds, so there’s real muscle behind it, but that wind just kills it. This is heavy, gnarly stuff for experts only. For anyone else, this is a kite-surfing day if I’ve ever seen one. It’s raw, wild, and frankly, not much fun for a paddle.

That chaotic pattern holds through the 7th. The swell stays big, the wind stays strong, and the surf quality remains terrible. It’s a fight, not a session.

The wind finally starts to back off on the 8th, and the swell drops to around 6ft to 8ft. The energy is still solid, but the cross-shore wind keeps things marginal. A step in the right direction, but still nothing to get excited about.

Heading into the final stretch from the 9th to the 12th, the wind is cross-shore, and the swell stays consistent, in the 6ft to 10ft range. The energy is there, but the waves are still messy. We just can’t get a clean day.

Honestly, there isn't a single standout day in this whole forecast. The swell shows up, but the wind is always there to rain on our parade. The closest we get to anything decent is the 12th of September, with swell around 10ft and the wind finally dropping to a gentle cross-shore breeze. It'll still be a bit lumpy, but it could have some serious power. That’s one for the heavy-water crew, not for the faint of heart.

So, there you have it. The surf is going to be a write-off for the most part. Even when the swell kicks in, the wind is going to make it a mean, brutish ocean. Keep the board in the car and maybe find something else to do until the forecast clean up.

Rusty, out.
