The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Neakahine Point, it’s a tough run. We’re staring down a long stretch of small, messy, or just plain poor conditions. The first decent sign doesn’t even show up until Monday, August 24th. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing worth getting excited about—cross-onshore winds, tiny swells, and a lot of chop. The wait is real.
That said, let’s talk about that Monday afternoon on August 24th. It’s the standout. The water is a bit colder than usual at 57°, which is noticeable. But we get a 4ft swell coming from the NW with a period of 10 seconds. What makes it special? The wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive. For a point and reef like Neakahine, that means clean, peeling lines. The combined swell energy is moderate at 324, so there’s a bit of push. It’s not huge, but for the forecast window, this is the moment. Just know that it can get crowded here sometimes.
The rest of the time? Small swells, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-on. A few marginal moments on Friday morning, August 14th, with a 4ft NW swell and a light offshore wind, but the period is short at 7 seconds—that’s windswell, not groundswell, so the shape will be weak. It’s a maybe, not a go.
Bottom line: The whole sixteen days is a dry spell except for that one glassy afternoon way out on the 24th. If you’ve got patience, that’s your call. Otherwise, it’s a good time to wax your board and wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Neakahine Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Neakahine Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Neakahine Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Neakahine Point 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 (Neakahine Point) 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 Neakahine Point 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.
