Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
320 AM HST Sun Mar 9 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Yesterday`s moderate size, medium period northwest swell that
produced the High Surf Advisory (HSA) is veering and lowering this
morning. Surf has fallen below HSA heights and the advisory has been
cancelled. This swell will progressively decline through the day. A
slightly smaller, medium period north northwest swell will arrive at
mid week with a reinforcing longer period swell on its heels to close
out the week.

East-facing shore rough, short period wind-driven seas will hold
through most of the week in response to this persistent fresh to
strong trade fetch over and upstream of the islands. Trades may
strengthen Tuesday and Wednesday. This will further agitate seas
and create an even rougher chop to eastern seas through the middle
of the week.

Surf along south-facing shores will remain small. Lingering medium
period northerly swell, along with the east wind wave swell, will
likely wrap into more eastern-facing southern exposures.

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.
