Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
358 PM HST Wed Dec 4 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The ongoing short period, near 7 foot swell will hold through the
next north northwest swell arrival tomorrow. Long fetches
produced within very large areas of near-gale to gale-force winds
in association with low pressure systems passing far north of the
area will send north to northwest swell of varying sizes and
periods toward the islands the next several days. Most of this
swell energy will be confined to the relatively shorter period
bands. Resultant surf is expected to be near or above HSA heights
along exposed north and west-facing shores from late Thursday going
into the weekend.

A long period, very small south swell will gradually decline
through tomorrow (Thursday). Another similar south swell is
expected from Friday afternoon through the weekend, but it will
may come in a touch smaller than this most recent swell.

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.
