Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
331 PM HST Wed May 8 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A long-lived south swell will affect the islands during the next
several days. Low, long-period forerunners of 19 to 21 seconds will
build over the area through the night, and south shore surf is
expected to rise near, or possibly to, the High Surf Advisory level
during the peak of the swell Thursday afternoon through Friday. This
long-lived swell will gradually decline Saturday through Monday, with
a small pulse of south-southwest expected to follow early next week.

The current northwest swell will continue to decrease to tiny
conditions tomorrow, followed by a reinforcing short-period
north-northwest swell this weekend. Surf along east facing shores
will be well below May average, as local trade winds remain
suppressed into the weekend. Only a small increase is due Sunday or
Monday as trade winds slowly rebuild.

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.
