Neakahine Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Neakahine Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. For a spot that’s already inconsistent and rarely breaks, we’re looking at a real dry spell. The first surf on offer isn’t until Thursday the 13th, and even then, it’s a sad story. We’ve got a tiny 1ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is a nasty cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (159-196). It’s choppy and messy. Honestly, that’s a pass for me.

Friday the 14th morning shows a small bump in height to 3ft, but from the WNW with a short, weak 7-second period. The wind is onshore, and the energy is only moderate (208). The guide calls it marginal. The afternoon drops right back down. Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th are more of the same – tiny, onshore, and poor. We’re basically in a hole here.

There’s a little flicker of hope mid-week. On Tuesday the 18th, the morning has 4ft from the WNW with an onshore breeze, but then the afternoon picks up a bit more juice with a combined energy of 308. Still, it’s short period and cross-onshore. By Wednesday the 19th, the swell period stretches out to 12 seconds and the energy climbs to 337-428, but the wind goes cross-shore and choppy. Not the clean, glassy conditions we’re hoping for.

The best bet in this whole 16-day window looks like Thursday the 20th. The afternoon session has the biggest swell we’ll see at 5ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is the strongest of the period at 531, so there's some real push behind it. The wind is light cross-onshore from the WSW at just 3 mph. That’s the cleanest wind we’ll get. For a reef and point setup like Neakahine Point, that long-period groundswell energy can wrap in and give you a proper wave, even if the period isn't extreme. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the standout. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent, so you gotta be there when it happens.

After that, it fades back into small, choppy, and poor conditions right through to the end of the month. The last few days, from the 25th onwards, are just tiny SW groundswells with onshore or cross-onshore winds and moderate chop. Not worth getting excited about.

So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are mostly a bust. The one bright spot is Thursday afternoon the 20th. If you can get out then, you might find something rideable.

Rusty.
