Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look ahead at what’s rolling into Waikiki.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The next few days are offering small surf and nothing too exciting. That small east swell on Sunday morning, July 5th, is glassy with 2.3ft, and the water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s surfable but pretty average. By Monday and Tuesday, the wind cranks up, making it tough to find anything worthwhile, even though the swell sticks around in the 2ft to 2.6ft range.
Then things go quiet midweek from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning, with only tiny waves and a lot of afternoon onshore or cross-chop. The combined energy is low, sitting at 50 or less, so patience is needed.
The first real standout comes on Saturday, July 11th, in the afternoon. The swell pushes to 3.3ft from the southeast with a solid 13-second period – that’s long-period groundswell. Wind is glassy light breeze, the combined energy jumps to 351 (moderate to strong), and it’s labeled as good surf. The southeast direction is a good one for Waikiki, and with clean conditions, this is the pick of the bunch so far. It’s a beach and reef setup, so that long period will work nicely here, not breaking too straight. Crowds are possible here, as it’s often busy.
Sunday the 12th offers another decent window – both morning and afternoon have gentle winds with a 2.3ft swell from the southeast and periods around 13–14 seconds. Energy is still solid (269 and 221). It’s not quite the peak of Saturday, but still worth a paddle.
From Monday the 13th onward, the forecast gets messy. Wind comes up strong from the west, and conditions turn poor. Swell is still present but energy drops, and by the middle of the second week it’s small and choppy. The last handful of days in the second week are basically flat, with no swell and strong winds. The 19th and 20th show zero swell energy – a real blank run to end the outlook.
So, bottom line: if you want the best of it, be on the water Saturday afternoon July 11th. That’s your call.

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.
