Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
359 PM HST Tue Sep 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate long-period northwest swell (320 to 330 degrees)
should peak tonight then steadily decline the rest of the work week.
A smaller north-northwest swell should provide a boost this weekend.
Surf along south facing shores should see a series of small long-
period southwest pulses through the weekend. The first pulse peaked
today with another small long-period southwest swell possible Friday
into the weekend. Additionally, a fetch of strong southwest winds near
10N170W yesterday should bring an increase of short-period energy
from the southwest Wednesday into Thursday. East facing shores should
remain small through much of the week due to the lack of strong trades
upstream of the state.

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.
