The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles per hour for you imperial folks. This 16-day look is a tough one. We’ve got a big gap of flat, messy conditions to start, and the first real glimmer of something rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 1st. Even then, it’s a struggle. We’re talking about a three-day window of marginal surf from Saturday through Monday morning before it fades.
Let’s get into the only period worth talking about.
The best of a bad bunch starts Saturday morning, August 1st, at Honolii Beach Park. Saturday morning brings in some ENE swell at 7ft with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate, reading 924, so there’s some push, but it’s not clean. We’ve got rain showers and a steady onshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph, which is gonna mess up the surface. It’s a marginal call at best. The afternoon clears up with the same wind direction, swell drops slightly to 7ft, but the wind stays onshore. The water’s at a warm 80° with a normal temperature for this time of year.
Sunday, August 2nd, is more of the same. Morning rain, onshore wind, swell at 6ft from the ENE. Still marginal. Afternoon clears up but the surf quality is flagged as poor. Monday the 3rd is our last chance – morning sees the swell drop to 5ft from the ENE with an 8-second period. The wind swings to a light cross-onshore from the ENE at 6 mph. The energy is weak now, at 437. It’s still only marginal. After that, it’s all downhill with poor surf conditions and dropping swell.
Honolii is a river break that’s very consistent, but this run is anything but. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and with these onshore winds and short-period swell, the shape is going to be sloppy. Crowds can be a thing, but with conditions this average, it might not be too busy.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs where the ocean just isn’t giving us anything. For the whole 16 days, you’re looking at maybe three days of barely rideable waves. Keep watching the forecasts, because it tends not to stay poor forever, but for now, don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.
