Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
336 AM HST Fri Mar 22 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The ongoing near three foot, medium period northwest swell will
flatten out today. A reinforcing small to moderate size, long period
northwest swell is forecast to arrive through the day Saturday.
Another slightly larger northwest swell will be on this weekend
swell`s heels and pass through Sunday night through Monday. This early
week swell will likely result in High Surf Advisory surf heights
along the better-exposed smaller island north and west-facing shores.
Short period easterly wind wave swell will pick up going into the
weekend as trade winds pick back up. South-facing shore surf will
remain at very low background levels the next several days.

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.
