Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
338 AM HST Sun Feb 23 2025

.DISCUSSION...
The current building west-northwest swell should bring surf
heights up to advisory levels today and peak this afternoon along
north and west facing shores. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in
effect for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu,
Molokai and north facing shores of Maui through tonight. This swell
will slowly lower through the first part of next week. A similar sized
northwest swell is expected to build in late Tuesday and linger
through Wednesday, resulting in peak surf heights above advisory
levels for north and west facing shores. A larger northwest swell is
then possible towards the end of the week. Small surf is expected
along south and east facing shores.

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.
