Surfability Score™ Updated Hourly • 12:22 AM HST

Pipeline is barely working right now with weak, small waves lined up from the wrong angle. The east winds are howling steady, making the lineup totally blown out and tough to ride. The tide is dropping low near the bottom, which usually isn't prime for this reef break. Unless you're into a challenging session, best to wait for cleaner conditions and some bigger swell energy.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

Weak 4.6 ft waves from NNE with a 7-second swell, east wind at 20 mph, dropping tide near 0.4 ft, water temperature 80°F, air temperature 77°F.

Pipeline Local Weather

Mostly Cloudy, 77°F • Wind E 20 mph
