Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
326 PM HST Sat Aug 9 2025

.DISCUSSION...
The long period south swell that has been bringing above advisory
level surf throughout the day is expected to peak tonight near
warning levels. A recent spike at the buoys confirms near warning
level surf continuing through tonight and into tomorrow morning.
If the buoys increase any higher, a high surf warning will be
needed. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect for all
south- facing shores through Sunday night. This swell will
gradually fade into next week.

Surf along east facing shores should remain small today due to
the lighter trade winds. Tropical Storm Henriette will pass far
east of the state tonight, sending a medium period east swell.
This swell could briefly increase the east facing shores Sunday
before subsiding Monday. Below average east shore surf is expected
Tuesday into Wednesday next week. A medium period northeast swell
will be possible by Thursday.

Tiny surf along north facing shores will trend down tonight
before another tiny pulse arrives tomorrow. Another small
northwest swell is expected to arrive Sunday night into Monday.

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.
