Pearl Harbor, HI Daily Water Report — September 1, 2026

Today's water conditions around Pearl Harbor are looking fantastic for surfers and divers, with both activities scoring high at 9.3 and 8.8 out of 10, respectively. The waves are holding steady at around 1.16 meters with a nice long period swell from the south, making this morning ideal for catching some smooth rides. The winds are currently a manageable 7 knots from the northeast, but do watch out for gusts up to 26.2 knots around 2 PM, which could make the afternoon a bit choppy. For anglers, it's a solid day with an 8.1/10 score. The best fishing windows align with the solunar major periods from 2:46 to 4:46 AM and 2:46 to 4:46 PM, which coincide nicely with the early morning high tide at 7:20 AM. The barometric pressure is on a slight decline, which can sometimes spur fish activity, so keep that in mind if you're planning to cast a line. Boaters and sailors have a decent day ahead, with scores of 6.7 and 7.5 out of 10, respectively. Conditions will be calmest near 7 AM as the tide hits its morning high. However, the afternoon gusts might make for a bumpy ride, so plan accordingly. Kayakers, on the other hand, might find the conditions a bit challenging with a low score of 4.6/10 due to the combination of wind and wave action. Looking ahead, expect increasing wave heights over the next few days, with a chance of rain peaking on September 2nd. While the surf is set to rise, so is the chance for precipitation, so keep an eye on the skies. For today, the best bet is to grab your surfboard and hit the waves early before the winds pick up. Enjoy the ride!
