The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Neakahine Point over the next couple weeks.
First thing you gotta know: there’s not a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. That’s the honest truth. The surf never really gets its act together, and the wind almost constantly messes things up. It's a tough run for this spot.
We kick off Tuesday, August 18th, with some small, weak swell – thinks it’s 2 ft from the southwest, but the energy is pathetic, only 150 (combined swell energy). Light onshore breeze just spoils it. That’s the story for a solid week: wafty wind, bumpy surfaces, and tiny waves. Wednesday through Monday, we see swell heights bumping up just a touch – an occasional 4 ft around Thursday, but it’s still messy with cross-onshore wind. Short period swell, no power, nothing to get excited about.
The water’s about normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on temp-wise at Neakahine Point.
The only time the wind drops to glassy is right at the very end: Monday, August 31st, morning. For one brief moment, it’s glassy. The swell is only 2 ft from the southwest, but it’s a long-period 15-second groundswell, and that gives it a little more shape than usual. The combined energy is still low at 163, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see. That’s the best window – and it’s not saying much. For a reef and point setup like this, that long period could wrap in okay on the right tide, so if you’re desperate and live nearby, paddle out then.
After that, it’s back to onshore junk through the first days of September. Swell pushes up around 5 ft on Wednesday the 2nd, but with moderate cross-onshore wind and a short, weak period, it’s just not surfable in any enjoyable way. Honestly, this whole stretch is more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing – nothing but chop and crosswind.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this whole 16-day run. One short window of glassy, tiny waves on Aug 31st is your only hope. I wish I had better news, pal.

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.
