Honolulu, HI Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today is a surfer's delight in Honolulu, with an outstanding surfing score of 9.4 out of 10. The waves are a consistent 1.66 meters with a decent period of 9.95 seconds, making for some thrilling rides. The swell coming from 178 degrees and the manageable northeast winds at 10 knots create favorable conditions. For those looking to paddle out, the best window is early morning before the strongest gusts hit around 1 PM. Sailors will also find today appealing, scoring 8.3 out of 10. The northeast breeze provides a steady push, although gusts reaching up to 33 knots in the afternoon might demand some skillful navigation. Keep an eye on those gusts if you're setting sail later in the day. Divers can rejoice with an 8.3 out of 10 score. The water temperature is a comfortable 26.8°C, and visibility should be decent, though the oligotrophic waters suggest minimal marine life activity. Plan your dive around the solunar major periods for the best experience. Fishing is middling today with a 6.5 out of 10, slightly down from earlier in the week. The solunar periods and low tide at 01:22 may offer some bite, but the falling barometric pressure might keep the big catches elusive. Boaters and kayakers should exercise caution. Boating scores a 5.2 out of 10, while kayaking is a low 3.2. The combination of wind waves at 0.82 meters and a strong ocean current of 0.9 m/s could make for a challenging day on the water. Looking ahead, the next few days see a mix of conditions with increasing wave heights peaking on the 7th. For a memorable experience, catch the sunrise surf session today; the waves and wind align perfectly for an exhilarating ride.
