Table - best surf conditions forecast for Neakahine Point over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's happening at Neakahine Point.
Mate, I'm not going to lie, it's a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. We're staring down a long stretch with basically no decent surf on offer. There’s only one break in the mix, and the pattern is grim.
For the first week, starting Tuesday the 7th, it's all just poor conditions. We've got some small swell pushing in, but the wind is never on our side. That water is sitting at 56°F, and it’s about 3°F colder than it usually is this time of year, so it’s gonna feel a bit chilly.
The first real chance to even call it "marginal" pops up on the morning of Friday the 10th. We get a clean offshore wind from the West, light at 3 mph. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the Southwest, but with a very long period of 16 seconds. That long-period groundswell is what makes this reef and point setup tick, but the combined energy is only moderate (324). The catch is, the finder says it’s questionable at best. For a spot that’s already *inconsistent*, this is a big gamble. Still, if you're desperate, a glassy, offshore morning on a point break with 16-second swell is your only real window.
The other "marginal" moments are equally uninspiring. Sunday afternoon the 19th and Wednesday morning the 22nd offer some small, short-period NW swells (5ft on the 19th afternoon and 5ft on the 22nd morning), but the wind is either offshore or light enough to give you a tiny chance. Every other day is a write-off due to cross-shore or cross-onshore winds messing up whatever small, short-period slop is running.
There's a gap of about a week with no real recommendations. If you're looking for a classic point break session, this isn't the period for it. When the swell direction is from the West-Northwest, it's mostly short period and choppy, making the setup look a lot more like a kiteboarding day than a paddle session. The break is *inconsistent* for a reason, and this forecast shows exactly why.
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.
