Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
314 AM HST Thu May 9 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A long-lived south swell will affect the islands during the next
several days, keeping south shore surf above the summertime average.
The surf is expected to peak below the High Surf Advisory threshold of
10 feet today through Friday, then gradually decline Saturday through
Tuesday. A series of overlapping long-period south swells will give
another sizable boost to south shore surf Wednesday through late next
week.

North shore surf will remain tiny today and tonight, followed by a
small reinforcing short-period north-northwest swell late Friday
through the weekend. A 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.
