The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's not beat around the bush: the next couple of weeks are looking bleak for waves. We've got a long stretch where the ocean just won't give us a decent surf. You can pretty much write off the next 16 days.
The dry spell starts on the 14th and runs through the 29th. The early days are completely flat and choppy. There's a bit more energy in the water from the 18th onwards, but it's a no-go with the wind. The swell get a little more push from the 19th to the 21st, with the total energy climbing from a moderate 361 to a strong 538, but it's all for nothing. The wind is cross-shore and onshore, leaving the surface a bumpy mess.
There's a tiny glimmer of hope on the 20th, with a head-high 1.4m WNW swell with an 11-second period. But it's still marginal, and the wind is just not right. It might be tempting, but I'd give it a skip.
The pattern stays messy into the last week. The swell direction swings to the NW and the period drops below 8 seconds, making for a weaker, more disorganized wave. By the 28th, the wind is a fresh 30 km/h, and the ocean is just rough. Honestly, for most of this time, you'd be better off with a kite than a surfboard.
If you are determined to look, the spot is Neakahine Point, a reef and point setup that is inconsistent and rarely breaks. It’s an exposed spot that needs a proper SW swell, which we just aren't getting. On the first day, the 14th, the water is a cold 54°F, which is about 5°F colder than normal for this time of year. So if you even think about going in, bring a thick suit.
So here's the deal: keep your board in the car, but stay optimistic. Spots like this can switch on quickly when the swell and wind align. Forecasts change, and this poor run is not permanent. I'll be watching the charts closely. But for now, it's a waiting game.
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.
