Neakahine Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let's talk surf for Neakahine Point over the next couple weeks.

Honestly, it starts out bleak. We're talking a long run of nothing special from Sunday, August 9th through Thursday, August 13th. The swell is tiny, period is short, and the wind is almost always either cross or cross-onshore, just chopping up any hope. The energy numbers are low to moderate, but the quality is a solid zero. You'd be better off going for a paddle.

Things get a touch of life on Friday morning, August 14th. We see a 3ft WNW swell with a light onshore breeze. It's still marginal – just barely a 1 out of 10 – but at least it's something to look at. The period is short at 7 seconds though, so no real power behind it.

The clear winner, the one you want to wait for, is Tuesday, August 18th. That morning is looking like a true gift. The swell is 3ft from the southwest with a long 14-second period, and the wind is forecast to be completely glassy out of the ESE. The wave energy is strong at 460, and the label says "good." This is the kind of morning where Neakahine Point shows its best self – clean lines and no bump. The crowds are only a "sometimes" thing, so it might be a bit shared, but for those conditions, it’s worth it.

The good vibes fade by the afternoon of the 18th when the wind spins onshore and everything goes marginal again. There is another brief chance on Wednesday afternoon, August 19th. A 3ft swell from the west with 11-second period and a glassy SSE breeze. Another "good" call, but not as consistent as the Tuesday morning.

After that, it's back to the grind. The last weekend and into the 23rd looks like small, choppy, and bleak conditions. Not much to get excited about.

So here's the plan: skip the first week. Your one and only standout is Tuesday morning, August 18th. That's the call.

Rusty.
