The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Neakahine Point. We’ve got a rough start – a solid week of nothing worth paddling for. The water is a cold 56°, which is a whopping 4° colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit.
The first few days are a washout. From Thursday, August 27th, through the end of the month, it’s all poor surf with tiny, weak waves and messy winds. The combined energy is low, barely hitting 195 (weak) on the Thursday, and it doesn't get better. You’re looking at tiny 0.4m to 1.0m waves with short periods and cross-shore breezes that’ll leave it chopped and ugly. Not worth it.
Moving into the first week of September, things start to rumble but still no good. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st are the same story – small, weak, and onshore. The swell builds a bit on Wednesday the 2nd, hitting 1.5m, but the wind swings cross and kicks up a 25 km/h breeze, so it’s a messy, blown-out 477 (moderate) energy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
Then, finally, on Thursday, September 3rd, we get a window. The afternoon brings a 1.6m W swell with a 10-second period, and the wind drops to glassy. That’s the standout of the whole outlook. The combined energy is a solid 622 (moderate to strong). For a wave that’s usually inconsistent, this is a rare treat. It’s a reef and point setup, so that longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely and shape up. Just know it can get crowded here sometimes, but with conditions like that, you’ll want to be early. This one’s for the intermediates – anything over 1.5m is pushing it for beginners.
Friday the 4th still has some size at 1.6m to 1.7m, but the wind swings back to a messy cross-shore, knocking the quality back to marginal. The weekend after that drops off again with smaller swell and onshore winds. The second week is pretty quiet, with only a few marginal days. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September see a bit more size, 1.3m to 1.8m, and the energy climbs to 504 and then 735 (moderate to strong). The wind is light and cross-on, so it’s not clean, but it’s the best of a bad bunch for that late period. Nothing else really stands out.
So, your best bet is that Thursday afternoon glass-off on the 3rd of September. The rest of the window is a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
