Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
400 PM HST Fri Oct 17 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Two moderate, long-period NW and NNW swells moving through the
waters will keep surf heights elevated along N and W facing
shores through Saturday. Surf along N and W facing shores will
slowly trend down on Sunday. A hurricane force low E of Japan will
bring another round of moderate, long-period NW (330 deg) swell
into the islands towards the middle of next week building surf
heights along N and W facing shores. This next long-period swell
may possibly reach low-end High Surf Advisory levels Wednesday
into Thursday.

A series of small, medium- to long-period S to SW swells will
continue to filter into the area through the weekend keeping surf
along S facing shores from going flat. Short-period surf along E
facing shores increases slightly on Saturday due to the stronger
trades, then trends down slightly Sunday through 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.
