Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
315 PM HST Fri Jul 18 2025

.DISCUSSION...A mixed southerly swell will provide average surf along
south facing shores through early Saturday. A new small, long-period
southwest swell will fill in slowly Saturday, peak over the weekend,
then decline slowly through early next week.

Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain choppy due
to the fresh to locally strong trade winds before declining
slightly over the weekend. Surf along north facing shores will
remain nearly flat through the forecast period.

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.
