Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
321 PM HST Tue Jul 16 2024

.DISCUSSION...Existing long period S swell is slowly subsiding, the
bulk of energy now shifting toward the 13 to 15 second bands per the
latest buoy observations. The High Surf Advisory (HSA) is no longer in
effect, though surf will still approach the HSA threshold in favored
areas at times, particularly during the first half of tonight. This
swell will then slowly decline during the latter half of the week,
dropping to background levels Friday into the weekend. Surf remains
choppy along east facing shores due to trades and is also experiencing
a very modest bump from a small NE swell. North facing exposures may
see a tiny bump from the combination of a small, medium period
northwest swell and the small northeast swell mentioned above tonight
into Wednesday but will quickly fade Wednesday night.

Product Legend:

Surf:        Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
             in feet.

Tides:       Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low
             Water (MLLW) datum in feet.

Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach along a
coastline. Surf larger than the upper end of the range provided in
the forecast will occur periodically, sometimes up to a few hours
apart. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near the surf zone,
with rip current strength increasing with surf size. Swimmers are
urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a
lifeguard.
