179 FZHW52 PHFO 171322 SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii National Weather Service Honolulu HI 322 AM HST Fri Oct 17 2025 .DISCUSSION... Two moderate, long period NW and NNW swells moving through the Hawaii region will keep surf heights elevated along N and W facing shores through the end of the week. Surf along N and W facing shores slowly trends down on Sunday. A hurricane force low E of Japan will bring another round of moderate, long period NW swell into the islands building surf heights along N and W facing shores from next Wednesday onward. This next long period swell may possibly reach low end High Surf Advisory levels from Wednesday into Thursday if we add a one to two foot upward adjustment to swell heights as compared to the ECMWF Wave model. A series of small, medium to long period S to SW swells filter into the area into the weekend, keeping S shores from going flat. Short period surf along E shores picks up through the weekend as trade winds strengthen.
