The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch gears and look at this in feet and miles per hour.
Neakahine Point (Maui) – the first week and a half is mostly a bust. There’s some small swell and wind that keeps things lumpy or choppy, so you’ll be fighting it more than riding it. Wave energy is moderate for most of that time, with readings like 182 to 410.
The real chance comes around Tuesday, September 22nd. Swell builds from the WNW to about 5ft, with a period stretching to 11 seconds, so the waves will have some push and form. The combined energy jumps into the strong category, hitting around 795 on Tuesday afternoon. The morning of the 22nd has a gentle cross-shore breeze at 9 mph, so conditions will be cleaner than what came before.
That Tuesday morning and Wednesday, the 23rd, is your window. This is a proper groundswell with longer gaps between sets, which makes paddling out easier and gives you cleaner lines at this reef and point setup. Water temp is around 58°, which is pretty standard for the time of year.
Crowds can pop up here, but the spot is inconsistent, so you might have it okay if you get out early. Later in the month, around the 29th, another pulse of NW swell hits about 5ft with strong energy (575), but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it won’t have the same quality.
Don’t waste your time on the first week. Focus on Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd. That’s the standout spell.

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.
