The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Look, to be honest, the next two weeks at Neakahine Point are a mixed bag with a whole lot of wait-and-see. This is a reef and point setup that’s inconsistent, so when the ocean goes quiet, it can stay quiet for a stretch. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions ahead before a late-period standout pops up. The water temp is about average for the time of year here, nothing weird happening.
We start with a bit of swell on Thursday the 20th of August. It’s a 4ft WNW groundswell with an 11-second period, and combined energy is moderate at 480. The wind is light and offshore (W), so it’ll be clean, but the guidance suggests marginal surf and questionable tides. It’s not worthless, but it’s not gonna be pumping.
Then we hit a real dry spell. From Friday the 21st through to Tuesday morning the 1st of September, conditions are mostly poor. The swell drops to 1ft to 2ft most days with short-period windswell. Winds get messy with cross-shore breezes, and the scores are all zeros. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday morning the 26th of August with glassy conditions and a 2ft SW groundswell (16-second period, moderate energy at 281) that the guidance calls “expect good surf conditions.” At 2ft and inconsistent, it’s only really a fun little tidy wave for a longboard or a patient surfer, not a standout.
The real standout, and this is the one to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday afternoon the 1st of September. A 6ft WSW groundswell rolls in with an 11-second period and very strong combined energy at 789. The wind goes glassy, dead calm. The guidance is calling for “expect very good surf conditions.” That size (over 5ft) is pushing into intermediate territory, not for total beginners, but for anyone who knows what they’re doing at a reef or point, this will be clean, powerful, and the best run of the whole 16-day window. It’s a strong, solid afternoon session.
From Wednesday the 2nd onward, the swell hangs around 4ft to 5ft but the winds go cross-onshore, killing the quality. The surf is there, but it’s a chop fest, not worth chasing.
Best Bet: Tuesday afternoon the 1st of September at Neakahine Point. That’s your window. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
