Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
816 AM HST Tue Dec 2 2025

.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate, medium period, northwest swell (310-330)
will continue to slowly lose energy today. Thus, the High Surf
Advisory was cancelled earlier this morning for all islands. A
series of northwest to north- northwest (310-340 degree) swells
are expected during the second half of the week, with each pulse
becoming slightly bigger with each passing day. The first pulse, a
medium period northwest swell, will begin to fill in on Wednesday, and
generate surf just below advisory levels. A slightly larger and
longer period pulse is expected on Thursday out of the northwest
followed by a slightly larger north- northwest on Friday. Surf heights
should exceed advisory thresholds Thursday through through Friday,
with the peak approaching warning levels late Thursday into Friday.

East shore surf will remain small through Wednesday due to weak
winds, then become choppier 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.
