Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
400 PM HST Fri Nov 7 2025

.DISCUSSION...
The current small to moderate, medium period, northwest swell
(320-330 degrees) will continue to slowly subside through early
Saturday keeping surf near seasonal normals along north facing
shores. A deep low pressure system far north of the state
generated a large, short to medium period, northerly swell with
a north to south fetch pointed directly towards the islands. This
swell will help to bump surf heights up late Saturday into Sunday,
with surf likely exceeding High Surf Advisory thresholds for north
facing shores. This fetch will also favor harbor surges in north
facing harbors such as Kahului and Hilo on Sunday. Additional
north-northeast swells will keep surf elevated along north facing
shores through early next week.

Light and variable winds will keep small surf along east facing
shores through Saturday. As the front moves across the islands
late Saturday into Sunday, winds will shift northeasterly and
increase in strength. This, combined with a large, moderate
period, north to north-northeast swell (010-030 degrees) will
bring elevated surf and choppy conditions to east facing shores
late Saturday through Monday. A High Surf Advisory may be needed
during the peak of the event.

A small, long period, south-southwest swell will keep surf heights
near seasonal normals along south facing shores through Saturday.
Several more similarly sized southerly swells will enter the
waters Sunday into early next week.

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.
