Pearl Harbor, HI Daily Water Report — September 3, 2026

Today's water conditions at Pearl Harbor are a mixed bag, but if you're a surfer, you're in for a treat. With a surfing suitability score of 9.4/10, the consistent wave height of 1.7 meters and a swell coming from the south make for an excellent day on the board. The wind, blowing from the northeast at 7 knots but gusting up to 18 knots, will provide some challenge, but nothing seasoned surfers can't handle. Divers will also find today's conditions favorable with an 8.3/10 score. The water temperature is a comfortable 27.3°C, and the relatively low chlorophyll levels suggest clear waters. However, keep an eye on the wind waves, which could affect underwater visibility, especially as gusts peak around 2 PM. Boaters and kayakers face a tougher day. With boating scoring 5.5/10 and kayaking even lower at 4.4/10, the wind and wave conditions could make for a bumpy ride. The ocean current moving westward at 0.7 m/s adds another layer of complexity, so caution is advised. Fishing scores have dipped slightly to 6.5/10 compared to earlier in the week. The solunar periods suggest the best times are early morning and late afternoon, but the falling barometric pressure might keep the fish a bit elusive. Wildlife watchers have a moderate score of 6.6/10, so while you might spot some activity, it won't be as bustling as earlier in the week. Looking ahead, expect a wetter weekend with increasing chances of rain and wind speeds peaking at 12.2 knots tomorrow. Surf's likely to remain strong, though, with wave heights rising through the weekend. In short, grab your board and hit the waves today—it's the best bet for catching some action before the weather takes a turn.
