Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
315 PM HST Wed Jul 16 2025

.DISCUSSION...
South facing shores will remain small through Friday, then reach near
summer average heights this weekend as a new long-period southwest
swell arrives from the Tasman Sea, along with a new small short-period
south-southeast swell. Surf along east facing shores will continue to
remain rough and choppy due to the fresh to locally strong trade
winds and a small short-period northeast swell that is expected to
fill in this weekend. Surf along north facing shores will remain
nearly flat through the weekend.

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.
