Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
331 PM HST Wed Aug 13 2025

.DISCUSSION...The current south swell will continue to gradually
decline today. Background small, long-period south southwest swell
should fill in Thursday keeping surf slightly below average. A couple
of small, long-period southerly swells is expected to fill by the
weekend, keeping surf heights near average into early next week,
though likely remaining below advisory level. Surf along east facing
shores will see a slight uptick later today through Friday due to a
small, medium-period northeast swell. Short-period chop increases this
weekend again as stronger trades develop. Surf along north facing
shores will remain tiny through the forecast period.

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.
