Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
313 AM HST Tue Jul 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...
An active period of south swell is due this week. The first in a
series of long-period swells will arrive later this afternoon or
evening and will build south shore surf to near summertime
average levels on Wednesday. Long period forerunners of a much
larger swell will overlap the first swell on Wednesday, and the
bulk of the swell will peak at around 4 to 5 feet in Hawaiian waters
on Thursday, then hold surf heights in excess of the High Surf
Advisory threshold through Friday. The swell will gradually decline
over the weekend and will be followed by another sizable long period
south swell early next week.

East shore surf will trend up over the next few days as strengthening
trade winds generate larger wind waves. Surf along east facing
shores will rise to seasonal average late Wednesday or Thursday
and hold into the weekend, followed by a likely decline early next
week.

Flat summer conditions along north facing shores may be
interrupted this weekend by a small long period northwest swell
from Typhoon Krosa, currently in the western Pacific.

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.
