Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
321 AM HST Fri Apr 12 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Small surf will persist across north facing shores over the next
several days with background energy from the northwest and north
expected. An upward trend is possible late Sunday as a small
long-period north-northwest swell arrives from a system across
the far northwest Pacific. Surf along east facing shores will trend
down slightly as locally strong winds trend down over the weekend and
veer out of the south. Surf along south facing shores remain small
with mainly background south-southwest swell expected. The next long-
period pulse is expected tonight that should hold through the weekend
before moving out.

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.
