Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
309 AM HST Wed May 15 2024

.DISCUSSION...Surf along S facing shores remains near to below average
until Thursday when another surge of long period energy brings
elevated surf conditions. The current small medium period NW swell
will peak today followed by a building short period fresh NW swell
emanating from developing low pressure to the northwest. This swell is
forecast to peak near to just below the High Surf Advisory threshold
Thursday into Friday. West facing shores see a bump in surf through
the week due to overlapping NW swell and S swells wrapping into
exposed areas. Surf along E facing shores remains well below normal
through the weekend.

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.
