Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
308 PM HST Sat Nov 15 2025

.DISCUSSION...Surf along N facing shores remains small early this
afternoon, but a small to moderate, medium to long period NW swell
will fill in this evening into tonight in maintenance of elevated surf
through the weekend. Small long period forerunners are evident on the
NDBC buoys 51101 and 51001 early this afternoon. A moderate long
period NW swell is then expected to arrive late Tuesday and peak
Wednesday near High Surf Advisory thresholds before declining by the
end of next week.

Surf along E facing shores will decline through the weekend due
to the weakening of the local and upstream trade winds. Large
choppy short period surf for N and exposed E shores is possible
by the middle of next week depending on the evolution of the
approaching cold front. For S shores, tiny background southerly
swell remains through the forecast period.

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.
