Pearl Harbor, HI Daily Water Report — August 30, 2026

Today in Pearl Harbor, the waters are calling, especially if you're a surfer or diver. With surfing scoring a stellar 9.1 out of 10, thanks to a solid 1.32-meter wave height and a steady 8.6-second period, it's a prime day to hit the waves. The swell coming from 181 degrees will keep things interesting, even if the wind gusts up to 24.7 knots by noon. Divers will also find favorable conditions with an 8.6 score, supported by calm seas peaking at just 1.2 meters around 2 PM. The water temperature hovers at a comfortable 27.5°C, slightly warmer than usual, which should make for an enjoyable dive. Fishing enthusiasts, don't fret; your score of 8.5 is bolstered by excellent solunar periods, particularly between 1:10 and 3:10 PM. The tides are gentle, with a high of 0.53 meters at 5:29 PM, offering a good window for casting lines. Boaters and kayakers, however, may want to proceed with caution. The 6.5 and 5.4 scores reflect the challenging winds and moderate wave heights. If you do venture out, aim for the afternoon when conditions calm slightly. Visibility is excellent at nearly 25 kilometers, but keep an eye on those gusts. In comparison to recent days, today sees a slight drop in boating and kayaking scores, likely due to the increased wind speeds. While yesterday's conditions were a tad more favorable for these activities, today's still offers plenty of opportunities for those prepared for a bit of a challenge. Looking ahead, anticipate more wet weather with rain chances peaking tomorrow. Conditions will remain breezy, with waves maintaining their current size through the next few days. Best bet? Grab your board and ride the swell before the winds pick up too much—it's a day surfers dream of.
