Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
828 AM HST Tue May 6 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Surf along exposed north and west-facing shores will trend up to
near-average levels later today as a medium-period northwest swell
arrives. This swell will linger into the second half of the week,
gradually shifting out of the north. Surf along south-facing shores
will remain below average through Thursday as a south swell fades. A
fresh long-period south-southwest swell is expected to arrive over the
weekend, bringing an upward trend with above-average surf.
Forerunners should begin filling in Friday, with the swell peaking
Saturday through Sunday. If it comes in larger than expected, surf
could approach advisory levels this weekend. Surf along east-facing
shores will remain rough and choppy, with heights hovering around
average each day.

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.
