Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
349 PM HST Wed Sep 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...

The current moderate long-period northwest swell (320 to 330 degrees)
is expected to gradually downtrend tonight through Friday. A smaller
north- northwest swell (330 to 350 degrees) building in Friday night
and peaking on Saturday will provide reinforcement for the weekend.

Multiple small south and southwest swells are expected now into
early next week. The first, a long period southwest swell will
decline overnight. The second, a small short period southwest swell
will overlap the first and linger through the weekend. The next long-
period south- southwest swell is expected to arrive on Monday and
peak late Tuesday or Wednesday.

East facing shores will remain small through at least Sunday due to
the lack of strong trades upstream of the state. Breezy trade winds
and short period easterly surf should return by Wednesday.

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.
