Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
357 AM HST Tue Apr 22 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A small, medium period northwest swell will peak today, providing a
little boost in surf along north and west facing shores. This swell
will subside into Wednesday. Expect minimal surf late Wednesday
through Friday. A slightly larger small, long period northwest swell
is expected to fill in over the weekend.

A small, long period south-southwest swell is filling in this
morning with wave energy increasing in the 14 to 18 second band
range as seen in the Barbers Point, Kaumalapau and Pear Harbor
near shore CDIP buoys. This new swell is expected push surf along
south facing shores above summer average as it peaks tonight and
holds into Wednesday. The swell will slowly decline the rest of
the week.

Surf along east facing shores will remain near or below average
due to the lack of strong trade winds over or upstream of the
islands. East shore surf may see some side shore chop wrap in from
the southeasterly wind swell over the next several days.

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.
