The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Alright, looking at the whole 16-day window for Honolii Beach Park, and I gotta be straight with you – it's mostly a quiet story. The first couple of weeks are pretty much a write-off. We've got a long gap with nothing surfable from now until the morning of Sunday the 16th. That's a lot of flat days and poor conditions to sit through. The trade winds are just onshore or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and messy. The swell energy is moderate at best, but it's just not coming together with the wind. The period is short too, so no real push.
Now, let's talk about the one true standout. Sunday morning, August 16th. That's the window. The wind goes glassy, which is a massive win. We've got a solid 8.2ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong at (1567). The report calls it excellent for experienced surfers, and that's no joke. 8.2ft is pushing into expert territory, so if you're not solid, maybe sit this one out. But for the crew that knows what they're doing, early morning on the 16th is the only call. This is a river break, so that longer period groundswell will push through nicely. Just remember, crowds are often here, so expect company.
The rest of the second week? Up and down. Monday the 17th is marginal with cross-shore wind and a drop in size. After that, it dwindles to almost nothing until Tuesday the 25th, when we see a 5.9ft pulse from the E, but the wind is cross-onshore again, so it's likely a choppy mess. The water temp is sitting at about 80.4°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Honolii Beach Park: Mostly a waiting game. Sunday the 16th morning is your one shot. Get it while it's clean.
