Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
353 AM HST Sat Apr 26 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A small long-period northwest swell will enter the local waters
today, peak tonight into Sunday, then fade through early next week.
Surf along north and west facing shores should remain near or below
average, well shy of High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria. By Thursday, a
medium long-period north northwest swell is progged to cross the waters
and produce surf that may approach HSA.

Multiple small early season south swells will maintain small
background southerly energy through mid next week. A bump up in south
swell energy is expected to arrive late Thursday and last through
next weekend. Weak upstream trade wind flow will keep surf along east
facing shores near or below seasonal averages for the next several
days.

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.
