Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
302 AM HST Fri May 9 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south-facing shores will trend up above average this
weekend as a long-period south-southwest swell arrives. Forerunners
will begin filling in later today, with the surf likely reaching the
advisory level late Saturday through Sunday. A gradual downward trend
will follow early next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain
rough and choppy, with heights hovering around average each day. Surf
along exposed north-facing shores will remain small through the
weekend, with mainly background short-period north-northeast energy
continuing. A long-period northwest swell arriving late Sunday will
lead to the surf picking back up to near average levels as it peaks
Monday.

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.
