Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
303 AM HST Mon Aug 4 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A moderate, long period south swell has begun to slowly fill in
overnight and is expected to peak below High Surf Advisory (HSA)
criteria this evening into Tuesday before declining Wednesday.
Another swell is expected from a low formed south of New Zealand
at the end of July, that measured seas of 35 to 40 feet aimed
towards Hawaii. This swell is expected to build on Thursday and
hold through the end of the week which could get near HSA criteria
at its peak.

Short period trade wind swell will keep east facing shores elevated
and choppy today due to strong trade winds. By late this evening into
Tuesday, a moderate, medium to long period east swell is expected
to fill in from the energy from former Tropical Cyclone Gil.

A small, medium period northwest swell originating from Typhoon
Krosa in the western Pacific will bring a small bump up in surf
along north facing shores through today.  Another bump is
expected as a small, medium to long period northwest swell looks
to fill in Thursday and Friday.

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.
