Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
300 AM HST Wed May 8 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The current northwest swell will continue to decrease to tiny
conditions through Thursday followed by a reinforcing short-
period north northwest swell Friday into the weekend. Surf along
south facing shores will remain steady through today. Forerunners
from a larger and longer lived south- southwest swell are subject
to arrive later this afternoon. Surf is trending below High Surf
Advisory criteria but if nearshore buoy observations come in above
guidance, surf could reach advisory levels when the swell peaks
Thursday into Friday. Surf along east facing shores should remain
small as winds remain light through the rest of the 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.
