Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
313 PM HST Fri May 17 2024

.DISCUSSION...Surf along south facing shores will remain up through
early next week due to overlapping, long-period south-southwest
swells. The first swell will peak today, then linger through Saturday,
likely hovering around the advisory level. Expect rough conditions
for most southern exposures today due to a combination of the onshore
winds, swell, and periodic heavy showers moving through over the
western end of the state. As this swell slowly eases later in the
weekend, a fresh, long-period south-southwest swell will begin to fill
in through the day Sunday. This will peak near the advisory level
early next week before easing through midweek. The ongoing short-
period northwest swell will keep surf along north and west facing
shores up into Saturday before easing. Surf along east facing shores
will remain well below average through the weekend. An upward trend is
possible 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.
