Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
312 PM HST Sat May 18 2024

.DISCUSSION...Surf along S facing shores will remain elevated through early
next week due to overlapping long-period SSW swells. The first swell
has peaked. However, a second SSW swell will fill in during Sunday,
peaking early next week slightly lower than the present swell. The
High Surf Advisory has been extended through Sunday. Surf along north
facing shores will steadily lower through the weekend, with a return
to a more typical pattern for this time of year next week. Surf along
east facing shores will remain well below average through the
weekend. An upward trend is possible next week as the trades return.

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.
