Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
332 AM HST Fri Apr 4 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Moderate, medium period north northwest swell (330-340) will continue
to fill in today. Surf along north and west facing shores will peak
near or just above advisory level later today. So far offshore and
near shore buoys remain in-line with model guidance, but will continue
to monitor to see if the swell comes in a little larger than
anticipated which may warrant a High Surf Advisory. A large to extra
large, long period swell (350-360) is still on track to quickly build
in Saturday on already elevated seas, producing warning level surf
along north facing shores with advisory level surf across west and
east facing shores that will continue through the weekend.

Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny into the weekend with
mainly background energy dominating. A small, long period south swell
could fill in later over the weekend into early next week and provide
a small boost to surf along south facing shores.

Surf along east facing shores will gradually build today and
Saturday with the return of trade wind flow over and upstream of
the state. East shore surf will also get a boost from the larger
northerly swells wrapping into exposed areas.

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.
