The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here with a look at the coming weeks. Honestly, for Neakahine Point (United States), it’s a mixed bag of a forecast. We’ve got a fair bit of waiting around for the good stuff. The waves that do show up are small and messy for the most part, but there are a couple of windows where things could line up.
We start off on the morning of Sunday, the 13th of September with a tiny 2ft SW swell, but it’s blown out with a cross-shore wind. That’s a no-go. Monday the 14th morning looks a bit more promising. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive—clean, glassy surf is what we’re after. The combined energy is moderate (275), so there’s a bit of push. It’s small, but for a mellow paddle, it’s the best we’ll see for a few days.
The rest of that week is a write-off. Tuesday the 15th through Saturday the 20th of September is a long stretch of poor conditions—cross-shore winds, choppy water, and tiny swells. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
We get a slight flicker on the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of September. The swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW with a 12-second period. The combined energy is strong (1156). The wind is light and cross-shore. It’s a bit raw with that cross-chop, but that’s a decent amount of water moving around. This is more for the experienced crew as it’s pushing 7ft. It stays similar through Thursday the 24th with 7ft WNW swell and strong energy (1187), but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-shore in the afternoon, chopping it up.
Looking further ahead, the standout is shaping up for the morning of Sunday the 27th of September. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the W with a 10-second period. The combined energy is very strong (1332). Now, the wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is not ideal, but that’s a lot of power. It’s pushing past 8ft, so this is strictly for experts only. The Monday the 28th of September morning still has 6ft from the WNW (1172) with light cross-shore winds, so that could be a solid follow-up session for the more competent surfers.
So, to sum it up: if you want clean small waves, that Monday the 14th of September morning is your best bet. For the big stuff, keep an eye on Sunday the 27th of September, but be ready for a crowd and know your limits. The rest of the time, you’re better off waiting.
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.
