The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Neakahine Point. Looking at the whole 16-day window, the truth is there’s no real green light to be found. The wind is a constant problem, and the swell just never lines up cleanly. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.
First up, the water around Neakahine Point is feeling about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The early part of the week, starting Sunday 19 July, is a write-off. The swell is small and weak with a short period of 8 seconds, coming from the WNW, but the wind is a messy cross-on from the NNW at 12 to 16 mph. The wave energy is moderate (356 to 422), but the quality is just poor – choppy and bumpy.
Monday 20 July sees the wind drop right off, going light and even turning onshore from the WNW at 3 mph. The swell is still around 4ft to 5ft from the WNW, but the energy is moderate (443). The problem is, the forecast is calling it marginal, with questionable tide conditions. It’s the closest we get to surfable, but it’s a real gamble.
After that, it gets worse. From Tuesday 21 July through to early August, the swell stays mostly under 3ft, often dropping to 2ft or 2ft. The wind is persistently cross-on or onshore from the NW, SW, or NNW. Even when the swell height pushes to 5ft again on the 1st and 2nd of August, it’s short-period (7-8 seconds) and the wind is a mess. The wave energy is mostly moderate (between 200 and 500), but the surf conditions are consistently rated as poor. There’s nothing here that’s clean or well-shaped.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is a couple of small windows of very light wind on the 20th of July, but with the swell being marginal, it’s more of a long-shot than a plan. The rest of the 16 days is a gap of poor surf, broken only by the promise of a little more size on the 1st and 2nd of August, but the wind kills it.
So, my honest advice? Sit this one out. The forecast can always change, and it’s rare for it to be this bleak for this long, but for now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
