The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Honolii Beach Park.
Straight up, the next ten days or so are a tough watch. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The swell’s there, around 4ft to 8ft from the ENE and NE, and the combined wave energy fluctuates but gets up there, hitting strong levels like 586 and even 960 at times. But the wind is almost always on it or cross-onshore, messing up the surface. It’s going to be choppy and messy for the most part. The period is a short 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-driven stuff without any real punch.
The water temperature is sitting at a warm 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, so that’s one thing to be happy about.
There’s really only one window that might get your heart beating, and it’s a long way off. On Tuesday, September 8th, we’ve got a bit of hope. The afternoon session shows a chunky 7ft swell from the NE, with a much longer period of 10 seconds, and the wind switches offshore from the NE. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1124, which is legit power. This is the best looking patch in the whole run, with cleaner conditions. The size is getting up there though, so this is one for the experienced crew only; beginners should sit this one out.
Other than that, the rest of the 16 days is a write-off. The swell drops right away in the second week, down to under 3ft, and the wind stays messy. There's a long gap of poor conditions before and after that Tuesday. It’s a frustrating run for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, but that’s the way it’s looking.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Honolii Beach Park may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
