Mokuoloe, HI Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today is a strong day for sailing and diving around Mokuoloe, but if you're planning to paddle or fish, you might want to reconsider. Sailing scores an impressive 8.8/10 thanks to consistent ENE winds averaging 11 knots, gusting up to 25, and a mostly clear sky. Divers will appreciate the 26.5°C sea surface temperature and relatively stable wave heights of around 2.06 meters, giving it a solid 8/10. Surfing isn’t far behind with a score of 7.8/10. The 1.38-meter swell from 62 degrees and a wave period of 6.5 seconds should make for some decent rides, though surfers will need to keep an eye on those gusty winds. Fishing, however, has seen better days, dropping to 6.5/10. The low chlorophyll levels indicate oligotrophic conditions, which means the fish might not be as active. The solunar periods—particularly the major one from 16:38 to 18:38—might still offer some potential, but the falling barometric pressure could dampen the bite. Boaters and kayakers face a tougher time today. With a kayaking score of just 4/10, the choppy waters and gusty winds make it a less-than-ideal day for paddling. Boaters fare slightly better at 5.7/10 but should still exercise caution due to the wind waves peaking at 1.22 meters. Wildlife watchers might find some activity during the solunar periods, but overall, the 6.4/10 score suggests it’s not the best day to spot critters. Looking ahead, rain chances are on the rise, peaking at 86% by the 6th. Winds will remain moderate, but wave heights are expected to climb slightly, especially on the 7th. If you’re planning an outing, aim for the morning hours when conditions are generally calmer. For a memorable trip, take advantage of today’s excellent sailing conditions and let the wind carry you across those blue Hawaiian waters.
