Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
311 AM HST Wed Mar 13 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate sized long period northwest swell will
gradually decline today. A new more significant northwest swell
is expected to build late tonight and Thursday morning, then peak
at warning levels Thursday afternoon through Friday along most
north and west facing shores of the smaller islands. Advisory
level surf appears likely with this swell along west facing
shores of the Big Island Thursday night through Friday night as
well. This swell will decline Friday night and Saturday, with a
reinforcing northwest swell building Saturday night, keeping some
moderate sized surf in place along north and west facing shores
through early next week.

Small surf will persist along south facing shores through
Saturday, with a slight boost possible Sunday through early next
week. East shore surf will trend down during the next couple days,
then remain well below normal through early next 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.
