Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
334 PM HST Sun Mar 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A large west-northwest to northwest swell will reach the islands
soon and build tonight, raising surf along exposed shores to High
Surf Advisory (HSA) levels this evening and lasting into Monday.
Due to the westerly component of this swell, surf heights may
approach HSA thresholds for west facing shores of the Big Island on
Monday.

Short period easterly wind wave swell will remain elevated and
choppy as trade winds remain strong. As trades strengthen even
further later next week, we should see another uptick along east
facing shores during the second half of next week. South-facing
shore surf will remain at background levels for 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.
