Neakahine Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Neakahine Point.

Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. This spot is a reef and point break that’s inconsistent, and the forecast is showing a long, frustrating run of poor surf. The first real chance to even paddle out doesn’t start until Saturday July 11th, and even then it’s marginal at best. You’re looking at a gap of no real options from now until that Saturday morning.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday July 11th. The morning will see a 4ft WNW swell, but that period is a short 10 seconds, so it’s not going to have much shape. The wind is a light onshore from the W, which is a bit of a letdown. The combined energy is moderate (415). The afternoon holds a similar 4ft WNW swell with the same short period, but the wind shifts to a light cross-onshore, which will add some small ripples. It’s not good, but it’s the best we’ve got in the near term.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no big surprises there.

The next tiny window pops up on Thursday July 16th. The morning shows a 2ft W swell with a very long 19-second period, which is a groundswell, and the combined energy is strong (521). That kind of period at a point break could be okay, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it lumpy. It’s marginal, not a session to get excited about.

Then there’s a sniff of something on Friday July 17th. A 2ft W swell with a 17-second period shows up, with a light cross-onshore wind. The energy is strong (564). It’s still considered marginal, but if the wind holds, there might be a clean-ish wave or two for the patient surfer.

Beyond that, the second week is a mess of short-period, wind-affected junk. There’s no real standout. The swell does push up to 6ft on Tuesday July 21st, but with a short 9-second period and a moderate cross-onshore wind, it’s just going to be messy and choppy. The energy is strong (596), but the quality is poor. That’s a day for the experienced guys if they’re desperate, but it’s not recommended.

The long-range forecast on Saturday July 25th shows a tiny 1ft SW swell with a very long 24-second period, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore. It’s too small and weak to do anything with.

Because the constant cross-shore and cross-onshore winds keep the surface choppy, and the breaks are mostly a messy beach setup, this spot might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on many of these days.
