Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
307 PM HST Wed Dec 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate, medium period west northwest swell
(300-330) has been holding today at the nearshore buoys.
This swell should hold through tonight, maintaining moderate sized
surf along north and west shores. This swell will be reinforced by
another on Thursday that should bring surf to close to advisory levels
Thursday afternoon into Friday. Another slightly larger northwest
swell is expected to arrive on Friday, which could also reach
advisory levels and maintain elevated surf through Friday night. That
swell will slowly decline through the weekend. A small medium to long
period northwest swell is expected early next week followed by a
moderate northwest by the middle of next week.

East shore surf will remain small tonight due to weak winds, then
become large and choppy by Thursday as trade winds increase from
Thursday through the weekend. Expect minimal background energy for
south facing shores through much of the week.

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.
