Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
344 AM HST Thu Apr 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Surf heights will remain below advisory thresholds for
all shores through the forecast period. The new small medium period
northwest swell is filling today and expected to peak tonight.
Another small, medium period northwest pulse will fill in Friday
night, peak Saturday, before subsiding Sunday. Expect these swells to
produce small surf along north and west facing beaches. Persistent
trades will continue to produce choppy, rough surf through the rest of
the week along east facing beaches. By this weekend, weakening winds
will allow this surf to lower and hold into early next week. Small
background southerly swell will lead to small surf along south facing
beaches through the forecast period.

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.
