The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Neakahine Point over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a bit of a flat and frustrating run for the most part. Neakahine Point is an inconsistent reef and point break, and over the next 16 days, it really lives up to that reputation. There are large gaps with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The first few days through the end of August and into early September are a write-off – tiny waves, onshore or cross-onshore breezes keeping things messy, and the forecast is a solid “no thanks” for a surfer. We’re looking at a dry spell that stretches for about 9 days before we see any real glimmer of hope.
The water temp is sittin’ around 58°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – so bring the thicker rubber if you do decide to go for it.
Now, the one window that actually gets my heart beating a little is on Wednesday the 9th of September. The surf build is coming from a WNW direction, and through the morning we’ve got a solid 7ft of swell rolling in with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, packing a punch with some serious energy levels (1048 – that's strong, folks). The wind is blowing from the north at 9 mph, which is a cross-shore breeze – not perfect, but leaves the surface rideable with just a slight cross-chop. This is the standout of the entire forecast. It’s not glassy, but for a break that rarely gets much love from the charts, this is our best shot at some decent waves.
However, that same swell later in the afternoon gets hammered by a fresh northerly blowin' 19 mph, turning it all lumpy. That morning session on the 9th is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a full week and a half away, so keep an eye on it – long-range calls like this can shift, but right now, that’s the only real highlight.
The rest of the second week? It’s pretty average. You’ll see some waist-high stuff, but the wind never really plays ball, keeping things choppy and messy. It’s not worth gettin’ too excited about.
Stay patient, wait for that Wednesday morning, and maybe score a couple before it blows out.
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.
