Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii...UPDATED
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
1131 PM HST Tue Dec 9 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Latest buoy readings from buoy 51001 and 51101 show significant
heights 1 to 2 feet above guidance thus have went ahead and issued a
High Surf Advisory for select north and west facing shores as a new
moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) moves in. As this
northwest swell slowly declines Wednesday night, a reinforcing swell
from the north- northwest is expected on Thursday, keeping surf
elevated. These swells will slowly decline into the weekend. Another
moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) should gradually
fill in on Sunday and could produce surf near the advisory threshold
by Sunday evening.
Small, choppy east shore surf will become minimal over the next few
days as trades near and upstream become disrupted by approaching
fronts. Expect minimal background surf for south facing shores, with
a minor south-southwest pulse expected Wednesday afternoon into
Thursday.
