Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
353 PM HST Fri Apr 12 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Small surf will persist across north facing shores through
tomorrow, with background energy from the northwest and north
expected. An upward trend is expected late Saturday and Sunday as
the arrival of a small long-period north-northwest swell
coincides with a more significant pulse of medium-period northwest
swell from the nearby surface low. Surf could approach low end High
Surf Advisory levels Monday night and Tuesday. The swell will decline
Wednesday and Thursday as it shifts out of the north-northwest.
A small, long-period south-southwest swell should arrive tonight
and hold through the weekend, but southerly winds will lead to
choppy conditions along southerly exposures. Another small pulse
of south swell will be possible Tuesday and Wednesday. Surf along
east facing shores will decline over the weekend as locally strong
winds trend down and veer out of the south.
