Table - best surf conditions forecast for Honolii Beach Park over the next 16 days.
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase on this one.
For the first ten days or so, Honolii Beach Park is a no-go. The swell is on the small side, the wind is ripping onshore or cross-onshore pretty much constantly, which will chop the place up. Water temp is around 80°, nothing unusual for this time of year. The wave energy figures are moderate but it never translates into any rideable quality – it's all labeled "poor surf conditions."
The most energy we see is on Saturday the 25th of July, when a 6ft ENE swell rolls through and the energy jumps to 582. But that's ruined by a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph. It’ll be a churned-up mess, not worth paddling out for. Honestly, the whole 16-day run looks like a total dud for paddling out. This stretch of poor conditions is pretty normal here when the trades settle in.
Don't bother checking the cams for a while. This is Rusty, hanging up the wetsuit for now.

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.

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.
