Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
811 AM HST Thu Sep 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Based on latest observations this morning, south shore surf was
increased slightly from the previous forecast for today. Previous
discussion follows.

A moderate, long period northwest swell will continue to gradually
decline through Friday. A small, medium to short period north-
northwest swell (340 to 350 degrees) will build in Friday providing a
small, short lived boost to north and select west facing shores surf
this weekend.

Multiple small, south and southwest swells (220 to 200 degrees) are
expected now into early next week. The current small, long period
southwest swell will continue to fade today along with an overlapping
tiny, short period southwest swell. A couple of tiny, long period
southwest swells are then expected Friday through the weekend keeping
small surf along south facing shores. A small, long- period south-
southwest swell (200 degrees) is expected to fill in Monday and peak
Tuesday into Wednesday that could bring near to slightly above average
surf along south facing shores.

East facing shores will remain small through early 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.
