Generalized Statewide Coastal Waters Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
330 AM HST Mon Dec 1 2025

.Synopsis for Hawaiian coastal waters...
 Ridging will remain in place over the area through Tuesday and
should maintain gentle to moderate southeasterly flow across the
local waters. A large west northwest swell will gradually decline
today, but still produce seas above Small Craft Advisory levels
for exposed waters through at least noon. A cold front is
forecast to approach from the northwest on Wednesday and may
affect marine zones west of Kauai with unsettled weather, but is
then expected to weaken to a trough and retreat westward. By late
this week into the weekend, strengthening surface high pressure
northeast of the islands will bring a return of easterly trades.
