Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
415 AM HST Wed Aug 6 2025

.DISCUSSION...
An extended run of higher south swell will continue through the
week. Yesterday`s south swell will continue to slowly decline
through the day but long period forerunners from the next south
swell will build in tonight. This swell will fill in Thursday and
peak Friday morning and afternoon. A large reinforcing southern
impulse will build in from late Friday through early Saturday.
This swell will certainly lift south-facing surf to High Surf
Advisory levels...possibly nearing High Surf Warning heights this
weekend. This swell will gradually decline early next week.

Eastern exposure surf will be elevated through the day in response
from a fading captured fetch from Tropical Cyclone Gil. Weakened
winds has allowed the eastern swell to level out in the 3 to 4
foot/12 second period range. Thus, under a much lighter wind regime,
eastern surf will remain just under advisory heights today. East
swell will decline rapidly late today and Thursday as strengthening
trades regenerate near seasonal wind wave averages. A captured east
swell from Tropical Storm Henriette may arrive this weekend.

A very small northwest swell originating from a former West
Pacific typhoon is producing very small surf along north-facing
shores. Another tiny northwest swell is scheduled to arrive later
today into Thursday and this will prevent north surf from going
completely flat.

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.
