The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Neakahine Point has in store for us over the coming weeks. I'll be straight with you, it’s not a pretty picture for most of the forecast.
We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. The first two weeks are pretty much a washout for decent waves. The water is sitting at about 57°, which is roughly two degrees colder than you'd expect for late July – you’ll feel that little chill on those flat days.
Starting off, Sunday the 26th of July, we see a small south-west swell rolling in at 3 ft with a very long period of 19 seconds. That long period should mean some energy, but the wind is coming from the SSW at 6 mph, putting it on a cross-on direction. The overall wave energy is moderate (681), but the conditions are marginal at best. That 3 ft swell, with a cross-on breeze, doesn't make for a great Sunday afternoon session.
From Monday the 27th right through to around the 8th of August, it’s all downhill. The swell drops off, the winds stay cross or cross-on, and the scores are all zeroes for "poor surf conditions." There's no real surf on offer. We’re looking at over a week of flat, choppy conditions. You’d be better off finding something else to do.
Now, hold on, because there is a flicker of hope way out there. On Saturday the 8th of August, things start to change. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the north-west, still a short period of 8 seconds, but with light winds from the WNW. The energy jumps up (498). By Sunday the 9th of August, we’re looking at a 6 ft north-west swell with onshore winds at just 6 mph. The energy is strong (795). It's still a bit messy according to the data, but that’s the best we’ve seen in weeks. The 6 ft swell is getting into intermediate territory, and with those light onshore winds, it might be a little lumpy, but it’s the only real option on the table. Given the long run of nothing, this is the standout. It's still a long way out, so don't get too excited yet, but keep an eye on it for the 9th and 10th of August. That north-west direction matches the optimum for this reef and point break.
So, the call is: a massive gap with no surf, then a promising, if not perfect, window of small-to-medium swell in the second week of August. I’ll be marking the calendar for the 9th, fingers crossed.
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.
