Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
342 PM HST Sat May 4 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Rough and choppy surf will prevail along east facing shores the next
several days. A medium period northwest swell peaking this afternoon
will gradually diminish Sunday, but another relatively small,
moderate period northwest swell is expected Monday and Tuesday.

Elsewhere, the storm track in the S hemisphere recently became
favorable for the generation of Hawaii-bound south swell, with pulses
of swell arriving on-and-off for at least the next week. The
first of these hit the Lanai buoy this afternoon and will build
tonight into Sunday, with peak surf heights remaining below High
Surf Advisory heights, although later swells may be large enough to
warrant an advisory.

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.
