Honolulu, Hawaii sits at Kaneohe Bay and South Shore flats, where local anglers mainly chase trevally, bonefish, papio. Honolulu's south shore and Kaneohe Bay offer wadeable flats for bonefish and papio, where light winds and moving tide are the main signals anglers watch on the Index.
LureScore index · 2026-10-29
The score combines air temperature, pressure level and stability, wind, rain, season and a short-range trend trigger. It is a timing aid — not a fish finder.

Daily highs/lows in °F, max wind in mph, mean sea-level pressure in inHg. Scores are computed per local forecast day.
Estimated water temperature · 2026-10-29
21.3 °C, most likely between 17.8 and 24.8 °C (about 64–77 °F). A modelled estimate for the water around Honolulu on 2026-10-29, not a gauge reading.
Coefficients were fitted on stream gauges in the contiguous United States and are applied here as a regional proxy — no local gauge fits this location. Expect a wider real-world error than the validated figure.
Built from the last 7 days of daily mean air temperature (weighted toward recent days), a seasonal phase term, and coefficients fitted against 55 USGS gauges across 171,799 daily records; leave-one-station-out error is 1.96 °C. Large reservoir releases, spring-fed reaches, deep pools and tidal water can sit well outside this range. Water temperature tells you how actively fish are likely to feed — it does not tell you where they are. How this estimate works →

Honolulu's south shore and Kaneohe Bay offer wadeable flats for bonefish and papio, where light winds and moving tide are the main signals anglers watch on the Index. The table above recomputes the index for each of the next seven days from that day's forecast, so you can time an outing to the strongest window instead of fishing the calendar.
Autumn brings cooling water and aggressive feeding ahead of winter — often the most consistent index readings of the year.
Windows are scored on the same model as the daily index. Sunrise and sunset edges are built into the schedule; the strongest mornings usually follow a stable or improving pressure trend.
The waters around Honolulu include Kaneohe Bay and South Shore flats. Honolulu's south shore and Kaneohe Bay offer wadeable flats for bonefish and papio, where light winds and moving tide are the main signals anglers watch on the Index. Start with public access points on these systems, check local regs, and let the daily index above guide timing.
The usual targets are Trevally, Bonefish and Papio in and around Honolulu. Seasonal timing shifts the bite — the forecast table on this page is computed for the same weather signals that matter for these species.
Yes — a Hawaii state fishing license is required for anglers 16 and older (saltwater and freshwater endorsements may differ). Buy one through the Hawaii state wildlife or natural-resources agency before you fish.
The index recommends the strongest windows printed under today's score — typically the low-light morning and evening windows. Sunrise and sunset edges are almost always worth more casts than midday, especially in the warmer months.
