Honolulu, HI Daily Water Report — August 31, 2026

Today in Honolulu, conditions are prime for surfers and anglers, with scores of 8.7/10 and 8/10 respectively. The waves are rolling in at a consistent 1.28 meters, paired with a pleasant swell from the south at 0.76 meters, making for some excellent rides. The wind from the northeast at 8 knots, gusting to 19, should keep things interesting without being overpowering. It's a solid day for sailing too, scoring 8.3/10, thanks to the steady winds and clear skies. Fishing enthusiasts, take note of the solunar major period from 13:56 to 15:56, coinciding nicely with a low tide at 12:21. This combination of timing and tide should boost your chances of a good catch. The air is warm, ranging from 22.8 to 29.4 degrees Celsius, with humidity at 87%, making it a comfortable day on the water. Boaters and kayakers should exercise caution, as the conditions are less favorable with scores of 6.4/10 and 4.2/10. The moderate waves and ocean current at 0.9 meters per second might make for a bumpy ride, especially around midday when the strongest gusts are expected. Visibility is excellent at over 14 kilometers, but diving scores are unavailable today, so divers might want to hold off until clearer underwater conditions are confirmed. Looking ahead, expect similar wave heights tomorrow, with a slight increase in swell by the weekend. A bit of rain might dampen things on September 1st, but the chance of precipitation drops significantly by the 3rd. The best bet for the day is to hit the surf early and enjoy the steady waves before the winds pick up too much.
