Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
335 AM HST Tue Sep 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A small to moderate size, long to medium period northwest swell
arrived at the northwest offshore buoys last night and is timed to
reach Kauai before sunrise, Oahu around sunrise. This swell will peak
tonight into Wednesday morning and lift north surf to well above head
high along those reefs and shorelines where northwest energy best
focuses. Surf from this swell is expected to remain under the High
Surf Advisory heights and gradually decline beginning Wednesday
afternoon. Surf along south-facing shores may experience a series of
small, long period southwest pulses at the end of the month in
response to storms that are passing south of the Tasman Sea and New
Zealand early this week. A very small fetch area of strong southwest
winds about 1,000 miles southwest of Oahu in association with recent
strong thunderstorm activity may bring in small period energy from the
west southwest Wednesday into Thursday. East-facing shore chop should
remain small through much of the week due to the lack of a strong
trade fetch over or 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.
