Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
329 PM HST Wed May 6 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A northwest swell will continue to fade tonight. A new long period
northwest swell is forecast to build early Thursday and bring moderate
surf to north and west facing shores Thursday into Friday. Surf
heights should remain slightly below advisory levels. This swell will
gradually decline over the weekend into early next week.
A small, long-period south swell will fill in tonight and likely
provide a small bump in south shore surf through the end of the week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain below normal during the
next several days due to the lack of strong trades over and
upstream of the islands. East shore surf will gradually increase into
the weekend as trades slowly make a return.

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.
