Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waikiki over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s take a look at the same run, but in feet and miles per hour.
This stretch is a slow burner, with no real action for the first eight or nine days. The first hint of something worthwhile shows up on Thursday, 16 July. Before that, it’s mostly small and messy. The water temp is about what you’d expect for the season; no big anomaly.
Thursday, 16 July morning brings a moderate offshore wind (SSW at 12 mph) and clean conditions to Waikiki (Oahu). Wave height is around 3 feet, from the ESE, with a solid groundswell period of 12 seconds. The combined swell energy sits at a moderate 248. It’s not huge, but the wind is right, and it’ll be fun for beginners and longboarders.
The genuine standout is Monday, 20 July. Morning conditions are prime: offshore breeze from the SW at 16 mph, a 4-foot wave from the ESE with an 11-second period, and a combined swell energy of 630. The surf will be clean and working well. This is the pick of the whole outlook – consistent, clean, and a solid long-period groundswell.
By Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to nearly 6 feet from the ENE, but with shorter period and lumpy texture. Not as good. The rest of the window after that is mostly forgettable – small, choppy, or unsurfable.
A note: Thursday, 23 July morning shows a massive 12-foot swell from the SE, but with a strong 25 mph wind. That’s expert territory and messy, so steer clear unless you’re experienced and keen on a challenge.
Bottom line: Surf is minimal until mid-week of July 16. The one day to really aim for is the morning of Monday, 20 July. That’s your best bet.
Rusty.

Information about the Waikiki Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waikiki provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waikiki can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waikiki 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 (Waikiki) 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 Waikiki 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.
