Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
331 AM HST Sat May 18 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores will remain up through early
next week due to overlapping, long-period south-southwest swells.
Heights will remain at the advisory level today, then briefly dip and
hold just below this level Sunday through Tuesday as the next pulse
fills in and peaks. A downward trend is expected Tuesday through
midweek. Surf along north facing shores will steadily lower through
the weekend, with a return to a more typical pattern for this time of
year next week. Surf along east facing shores will remain well below
average through the weekend. An upward trend is expected next week as
the trades return locally and far upstream over the eastern Pacific.

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.
