Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii

359 AM HST Wed Nov 12 2025
.DISCUSSION...The current short period northeasterly swell will
produce large breaking waves along east facing shores through Thursday
afternoon. Thus, a High Surf Advisory remains in effect for east
facing shores through 6 PM HST Thursday. Northeast swell energy and
associated surf should decline late Thursday through this weekend as
local trade winds slowly ease.
A small to moderate, long period, northwest swell will peak later
today and keep surf along north and some west facing shores elevated,
but below advisory levels. This swell energy should fade through
Friday. Another small, long period, northwest swell is forecast to
enter the local waters this weekend, which will again bring a sub
advisory level bump up of surf along north facing beaches.
A small, long period, south swell will peak this morning and
generate surf near or slightly above the November average, then
fade through the remainder of the week.

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.
