Generalized Statewide Coastal Waters Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
745 AM HST Sun Nov 16 2025

.Synopsis for Hawaiian coastal waters...
 Trade wind speeds will decrease today and veer from a more E to
SE direction from Monday to Tuesday as the high pressure ridge
north of the Hawaiian Islands weakens and drifts E in response to
a surface trough over the islands and an approaching cold front
far NW of the state. Additionally, the cold front will advance
into the offshore waters by Tuesday afternoon, bringing locally
strong ENE winds behind it before the front diminishes over the
NW coastal waters on Wednesday. Isolated thunderstorms are
possible in Hawaiian waters through much of next week.
