Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
328 PM HST Wed Jul 23 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Pulses of background long period south and southwest swells will
keep surf small surf along south facing shores into early next week.
Back to back gale force lows east of New Zealand are expected to send
a series of small, long period south swells that could begin to fill
in late Tuesday and produce above average surf along south facing
shores through the second half of next week. In addition tropical
disturbances tracking south of the state from east to west Sunday into
next week may also send a small, short to medium period south to
southeast swells.

Small choppy surf along east facing shores will trend down
slightly as winds locally and upstream ease.

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.
