Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
337 PM HST Wed Oct 9 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Afternoon buoy data is still showing 4 to 5 foot, 11 to 14
seconds, north northwest (330-350 degree) swell producing small surf
along north facing shores. This swell will continue to slowly
subside through Friday. A similar size north swell will reinforce
surf heights Friday night into Saturday. The next significant
northerly swell (350 degree) will likely arrive late Sunday into
early next week and may be large enough to produce advisory level
surf along north facing shores.

A south southwest (180-200 degree) swell, will continue to slowly
lower through Friday producing small to tiny surf along south
facing shores. Long period forerunners of the next long period
south swell is poised to trickle in mid- day Thursday and will
reinforce south shore surf Thursday night into Friday before
gradually trending down over the weekend. Surf along west- facing
shores will be influenced by a mixture of both north northwest
and south southwest swells. Thus, expect western exposures to
remain slightly elevated as well. Expect below normal small east-
facing shore chop over the next several days as trade wind flow
remains relatively weak locally and upstream.

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.
