Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
304 PM HST Tue Jul 15 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A long-period south swell caused surf along south facing shores
to peak near the summer average earlier today. As this swell
declines, a reinforcing short-period south-southeast swell will
continue to fill in this evening into Wednesday, slowing the
decline of surf heights through Friday. Another small increase is
expected heading into the weekend as a new long-period southwest
swell arrives from the Tasman Sea.

Surf along east facing shores will continue to remain rough and choppy
through mid week as the trades strengthen and a slight boost in surf
heights expected late this week into the weekend as a short-period
northeast swell fills in. Surf along north facing shores will continue
to decline through Wednesday and remain nearly flat 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.
