What’s up, crew? Rusty here with the lowdown.
It’s a bleak outlook for Honolii Beach Park over these next two weeks. The first real chance at anything rideable doesn’t come for a while, so get ready for a dry spell. Onshore and cross-onshore winds are the story, with short-period, choppy swell making a mess of things. The wave energy readings (177 to 342 when there’s size) are in the moderate range, but it’s all wind-affected junk.
The only window that even hints at being worth a look is Friday afternoon, July 10th. Even then, it’s marginal. Swell comes up to 1.7m from the ENE, but with a short period of 7 seconds and a light cross-onshore breeze. The water temp is normal for this time of year. For Honolii, this is the pick of the litter. You’ll have some lumpy, fat waves, but the size should get you a few walls on a log or a funboard. Expect the usual crowd as it’s a popular river mouth spot that’s exposed to ENE swell.
Honestly, for beginners, the 1.7m of short-period windswell is going to be a fat, closing-out mess. This is more of a kiteboarding session than a great paddle surf. The best you can hope for is a few crumbly shoulders.
Keep your head up, things can always turn around.
Rusty.

Information about the Honolii Beach Park Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Honolii Beach Park provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Honolii Beach Park can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Honolii Beach Park surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Honolii Beach Park) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
