Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
345 PM HST Sat May 11 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores remains elevated, but will slowly
decline through Sunday and then hold into early next week as a
long-lived, small south swell continues to affect the islands.
Although the swell size itself will remain largely unchanged
through Sunday night, the period will gradually shorten, allowing
surf heights to slowly trend down. Another series of overlapping,
long-period south swells will begin moving in on Tuesday, with
reinforcements giving another noticeable boost to south shore surf
from Wednesday through the rest of next week.

A small, short-period north-northwest swell will decline tonight
today into Sunday. A reinforcing small, long-period northwest
swell will build Sunday night, giving north shore surf a boost
early next week. Surf along east facing shores will be well below
normal levels through the middle of 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.
