Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into this. This stretch we're looking at for Honolii Beach Park is a tough one. Honestly, for the first ten days or so, it's a bit of a bust. We've got a solid run of poor surf conditions, so don't expect much to get you out of bed.
The water temperature is sittin' around 80°, which is right about normal for this time of year, so you won't need a full suit.
The first real flicker of something interesting doesn't show up until Saturday the 18th of July. The morning looks pretty average with a 6ft swell from the east and a brisk cross-onshore breeze making things messy. The afternoon cleans up a little with the wind dropping off, but the overall energy is moderate (405). Even so, the wave comment still calls it marginal.
Honestly, if I had to point to the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, it would be Tuesday the 21st of July. Look, the swell height is small at 3ft, but we've got a very long-period groundswell of 17 seconds coming from the east. That's serious energy for its size, giving a combined energy reading of 488. That kind of period will wrap in nicely at Honolii's river mouth setup, offering much better shaped waves than the short-period junk we've been seeing. The wind is light and offshore from the NE in the morning too, so it could be glassy. The catch is that kind of long-period swell can be a little straight at a beach break, but the river mouth might just line it up perfectly. It's a long way out, though, so don't bank on it just yet.
For the rest of the period, it's a whole lot of nothing special, with small, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. A few days in the middle of the first week have a bit of size, but the wind and quality just aren't there.
In short, we're mostly waiting. The very end of the outlook holds a small glimmer of something special, but for now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the wrapper.
Rusty.
