Waikiki, HI Daily Water Report — September 2, 2026

Today in Waikiki, it's a surfer's paradise with a score of 9.4/10, making it the standout activity. The waves are rolling in at 1.36 meters with a nice period of 10.8 seconds, complemented by a solid swell from the south at nearly a meter. The northeast winds are moderate at 8 knots, but watch for gusts up to 20 knots, especially around 2 PM when the gustiest conditions are expected. If you're thinking about diving, today's score of 8.6/10 is slightly down from yesterday's 8.7/10, still offering decent underwater conditions. However, atmospheric visibility is limited at 3.62 km due to dense cloud cover and high humidity (97%), so plan accordingly. Fishing enthusiasts might find today a bit challenging with a score of 7/10, down from yesterday's 8.1/10. The solunar major period in the late afternoon could provide a decent window, but the persistent rain until 2 PM might dampen spirits. Boating and kayaking are not the best bets today, with scores of 4.9/10 and 4.1/10 respectively. The combination of wind, waves, and a strong ocean current of 1.6 m/s towards the west makes these activities less appealing. As for wildlife watching, a score of 8.9/10 suggests good opportunities, particularly around low tide at 3:33 PM. Looking ahead, the next few days will see increasing wave heights, peaking between 2.2 and 3.0 meters by the weekend, which should excite surfers but caution boaters and kayakers. Expect moderate winds and a chance of showers throughout the week, with the highest precipitation chance on the 7th at 66%. For the best experience today, grab your board and hit the surf early to ride the cleanest waves before the afternoon gusts kick in.
