Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
352 AM HST Tue May 14 2024

.DISCUSSION...

Surf along south facing shores will gradually increase to near average
Wednesday and then possibly above average Thursday as a series of
overlapping, long- period south swells will begin to fill through the
week. Surf should remain elevated through the weekend.

A small, medium-period northwest swell will decline today. A new
medium period north-northwest swell will fill in later today keeping
surf near near to just below average. A moderate, short period
northwest pulse may arrive Wednesday night, peaking Thursday into
Friday bringing moderate sized surf along north facing shores. There
is a potential for surf to reach High Surf Advisory criteria Thursday
and early Friday if the swell height comes in higher than model
guidance, thus will continue to monitor all available guidance.

West facing shores will see an uptick in surf through the week due
to the overlapping northwest and south swells wrapping into some
exposed areas. Surf along east facing shores will remain well
below normal levels through the weekend.

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.
