Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
346 PM HST Thu Sep 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate northwest swell (320 to 330 degrees) will
continue to gradually decline through Friday. However, a new small,
medium period north-northwest swell (330 to 340 degrees) will
build in Friday night, providing a small, short lived boost to
surf along north and select west facing shores this weekend.

A series of overlapping south and southwest swells will keep south
shore surf slightly elevated into early next week. A reinforcing, tiny
long period southwest (220 degrees) swell will build on Friday,
keeping small surf along south facing shores. The next small, long
period south-southwest swell (200 degrees) is expected to fill in
Monday and peak Tuesday into Wednesday. This could bring near to
slightly above average surf along south facing shores.

East facing shores will remain small through early next week due
to the lack of strong trades both locally and upstream.

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.
