Nawiliwili, HI Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today in Nawiliwili, the water conditions offer a mixed bag, with a strong nod to anglers and sailors. Fishing and sailing both score a solid 8.5/10, thanks to favorable solunar periods and steady winds from the northeast. The best fishing windows align with the solunar major periods from 01:16 to 03:16 and 13:16 to 15:16, while sailors will appreciate the consistent wind speeds ranging from 9.2 to 12.1 knots. Surfers can enjoy decent waves with a suitability score of 7.8/10; however, the 1.96-meter wave height and 7.9-second period may challenge less experienced boarders. The calmest conditions are expected around 22:00, when wave heights dip slightly to 1.82 meters. For divers, an 8/10 score reflects good underwater conditions, with stable winds and a sea surface temperature of 27°C, though visibility isn't specified. Boaters and kayakers face tougher conditions today. Boating scores a moderate 5.9/10, while kayaking lags at 4.1/10 due to the combination of wind and wave action. The gustiest period hits around 13:00 with a peak of 26.8 knots, so extra caution is advised. Comparing to recent days, fishing and wildlife activity show a slight uptick, while surfing maintains a consistent 7.8/10 from yesterday. The chlorophyll levels remain low at 0.06 mg/m³, signifying clear, oligotrophic waters. Looking ahead, expect similar conditions over the next few days with a slight increase in precipitation chances, peaking at 76% on September 2nd. Wave heights are projected to remain stable until September 4th, when they are expected to rise, offering potentially exciting conditions for more adventurous surfers. Best bet for today: Hit the water early for fishing or sailing to take advantage of the morning's optimal conditions before the afternoon winds pick up.
