Neakahine Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Neakahine Point.

First up, the water is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The big picture though? Honestly, it's a rough stretch. There's a lot of messy, wind-affected days ahead, and only a few windows where things come together.

We've got a long gap of poor conditions right through the end of August and into the first few days of September. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Friday morning, the 4th of September. That's when the wind goes totally glassy, with a 5 ft swell from the WNW. The swell period is a moderate 10 seconds, so nothing too special, but with absolutely no wind and clean conditions, that's your best bet by a long shot. The swell energy is moderate (622). It's a great window for a paddle.

After that, it's back to the wait. The swell drops right off, and the winds turn onshore again. The long period (15-16 second) SW groundswells that roll through over the next few days don't have much size, and the wind just chops them up. There's a bit of a pulse on the 10th of September with a 5 ft SSW swell, but it's a short period (9 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore, so it's marginal at best.

Looking further out, the 14th of September (Monday morning) shows some promise with a 4 ft WNW swell and a nice cross-offshore wind from the ENE. That's a clean setup, with moderate wave energy (327). The swell period is short (7 seconds), so it won't be the most powerful, but it's the best looking option in the second week. Keep an eye on that one.

So, to sum it up: the standout is hands-down Friday the 4th of September for that glassy morning session. The 14th of September is a promising one too, but it's further out. The rest of the period is mostly a write-off, with winds making a mess of things.

Rusty.
