Neakahine Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the surf ahead for Neakahine Point. It’s a reef and point set-up that likes a good SW groundswell, and honestly, for the next week or so, we’re looking at a pretty quiet spell. The water’s sitting at 58.8°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

The next week is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. There are a few small pulses of swell, but most of it is weak and muddled. The energy’s all over the place, and we’ve got a lot of days with cross-onshore or cross-offshore breezes messing with what little surf there is. You’ll see waves in the 1.3ft to 3.6ft range, but the periods are short, so it’s not going to have any push. There’s a bit of a jump in size on Friday the 11th, with 5.9ft of NW swell showing, but the wind is junk and the period is only 9 seconds. It’s going to be lumpy and hard work for not much reward. That’s just the way it is for this stretch. There’s a gap of a few days there where you’re better off doing something else.

Don’t get too down, though. The long-range charts are starting to show something with a bit more life. The standout window is shaping up for Saturday the 20th. We’ve got a morning call with 5.9ft of W swell, a 10-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the NNE. That’s the cleanest we’ve seen it all period, and the combined energy is strong, reading 929. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s going to be glassy and clean, and the point should handle it nicely. It’s still a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed, but that’s the pick of the bunch. The afternoon on that same day looks like it’ll get chopped up by a moderate cross-shore, so get on it early.

There’s another brief pulse around Monday the 14th, with a glassy morning and about 3.3ft, but the energy is weak. It’s a small, clean option, but nothing compared to that 20th. So, overall, the next ten days are mostly about small, crumbly waves that are hard to get excited about. If you’re desperate, the 14th might give you a few fun ones. But the real hope is that Saturday the 20th delivers. That looks like the day to make the most of it.

Alright, keep it salty.
