Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I'm looking at this 16-day stretch and it's a tough one for Neakahine Point. The water is sitting at 54° - that's a massive 5° colder than it should be for this time of year, which is very unusual and honestly, a bit grim. The first few days are a write-off. We're looking at Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th with poor surf conditions and a moderate cross-shore breeze that's got a nasty chop on it. The swell is tiny, around 2ft to 2ft, and while it's a super long-period groundswell from the SW, the energy is moderate (462) and the wind is just ruining it. Don't even bother paddling out.
The pattern doesn't change much. Friday the 10th through to Sunday the 14th is a whole lot of the same story. The swell sticks around the 2ft to 4ft mark, mostly from the WNW, but the wind is always messy. It's either cross-on or cross-shore, and the wave comment keeps calling it "poor surf conditions" or "marginal." There's a little window on Friday morning the 10th with a light onshore breeze and a 1 rating, but it's still marginal. The energy is mostly moderate, with values between 299 and 457. There's nothing here that gets me excited.
We get a bit of a bump in swell energy around the 16th of July, with the combined energy hitting 595 and 607, but it's still a messy cross-shore wind and the swell direction is chopping around. The period on the 16th morning is a very long 20 seconds from the W, which is a proper groundswell by the looks of it, but with a 2ft height and a cross-shore wind, it's a frustrating tease. The following days, the 17th and 18th, show a bit more size, up to 3ft, with a 17-second period and a cross-shore wind, but the energy is strong (642-649). It's still not clean.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the very end of the run. On the 20th and 21st of July, the swell picks up to 5ft to 5ft from the NW. That's getting into the "too big for beginners" territory. The energy is strong (471 and 468), but the period is a short 8 seconds, which is windswell, not groundswell, and the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 19 mph. It's going to be lumpy and messy. This spot is a reef and point break, so it needs that clean long-period groundswell to really shine, and we're not getting that. It's a tough call, but the best on offer is probably the morning of the 20th of July, with that 5ft swell and a moderate cross-shore, but honestly, don't get your hopes up. It's a long, flat run for most of it.
Stay patient, stay hopeful. The forecasts can change.
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.
