Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
258 PM HST Fri Aug 22 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A series of small overlapping medium and long period S (170-190
degree) swells continues through Saturday maintaining surf near
the summertime average along S shores. Surf then diminishes to
background levels early next week as swell energy fades. Another
small, long period S swell arrives by Tuesday. Short period chop
continues for E facing shores through the forecast period due to
persistent fresh trades. Surf along N facing shores remains nearly
flat.

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.
