Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
1153 AM HST Mon Mar 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A moderate size, long-transitioning-to-medium period west-northwest
(300-320 degree) swell will build in this morning and peak this
afternoon. This swell will lift surf along better exposed north and
west-facing shores to near High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels today. The
more westerly component of this swell will bump surf up along the
west-facing shores of Big Island into tonight. Today`s fresh trades
will continue to produce short period easterly elevated wind wave
swell that has resulted in persistent choppy conditions along most
eastern exposures. South-facing shore surf will remain at background
levels the next several days. South surf may see a minor bump Tuesday
as a very small, medium period south-southwest (200 degree) swell
passes around the islands.

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.
