Alright, listen up. Rusty here.
Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough stretch for paddle surfing around Honolii Beach Park. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with weak, short-period windswell and onshore breezes messing things up. There’s really nothing to get excited about here.
For the first week, from Friday the 3rd through to about Friday the 10th of July, expect small, lumpy surf. Swell sits around 4ft to 5ft, but it’s all short-period stuff (7-8 seconds) coming from the NE or ENE, with the wind blowing right on it at 9 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, but it’s all messy and poor. This is a river mouth setup, and with these onshore conditions, it’ll be choppy and uninviting. Honestly, kites might have a better time here than paddle surfers.
Then we slide into a serious lull. From Saturday the 11th right through to the end of the outlook on Saturday the 18th of July, the swell drops off a cliff. Wave heights dwindle from 3ft down to as low as 1.0ft. On most days, the combined wave energy is pitiful. It’s small, weak, and often cross-onshore. Even on the 12th and 13th, when there’s a tiny pulse from the NNE, the period is still short and the size is under 3ft. Not worth paddling out for.
There’s not a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. For Honolii Beach Park right now, the forecast is a total write-off. We’re in a typical seasonal lull, and it’s gonna stay that way for a while. Forecasts can change, but for now, save your wax.
Rusty.
