The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we’ve got on the menu. It’s a bit of a slow period ahead, so keep your expectations in check.
We’re looking at Neakahine Point. Right now, the water’s sitting at 55°, which is much colder than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° below average, so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit.
The next couple of weeks are pretty grim for quality waves. The swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, with values between 121 and 310, but the wind is all wrong. It’s mostly cross or cross-onshore, which is making a mess of things. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday, the 7th of September.
On Monday the 7th, the morning is the only standout in the entire 16-day run. We get a clean 3 ft swell from the west, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the south. That’s the cleanest the surf will be. It’s only got a score of 2 out of 10 for the period, but given the rest of the junk we’re seeing, it’s the one to try. The energy is moderate at 254, and the break is a reef and point setup, so the long-period stuff can wrap in nicely.
That afternoon on the 7th, the wind swings cross-onshore and the quality drops straight back to marginal.
The rest of the time is either poor surf or marginal at best. The wind never really cleans up, and the swell direction is mostly from the southwest or west-northwest. With the water being so cold and the surf being this weak, honestly, for a beach-and-reef setup, if you have a kite, this stretch of cross-shore wind might be more your thing than trying to paddle out.
Signing off, 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.
