Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
1020 AM HST Sun May 5 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Pulses of south to southwest swell are expected this week, with
High Surf Advisory conditions possible by Thursday. Even though the
bulk of a south swell will be passing east of Hawaii, south shore
surf may rise to around May average tonight and Monday, then decline
Tuesday and Wednesday. Forerunners from a larger south-southwest
swell will arrive Wednesday, and surf is expected rise to the
advisory level during the peak of the swell Thursday and Friday.

A pair of small northwest swells will move through over the next
several days. The current small swell will decline today, and a
reinforcing small swell of around 3 feet will fill in Monday, peak
Tuesday, then decline Tuesday and Wednesday. Wind-driven waves of
around 9 feet at 9 to 10 seconds will maintain rough east shore surf
above the May average into Monday. As trade winds decline early in
the week, these seas will gradually decline to around May average by
Tuesday then drop to below average for 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.
