Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
323 AM HST Fri Sep 11 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A moderate mid-period south swell will continue to steadily decline
over the next few days with below average surf expected by the
weekend. Background southerly swells will keep surf from going flat
over the weekend into early next week. A Gale low just east Australia
will shift east of New Zealand over the next couple of days in a more
favorable position for more consistent south swells for Hawaii late
next week. Forerunners from the captured fetch from this system could
start trickling in by mid week and gradually build through the rest of
the week into next weekend, generating above average surf.
On east facing shores expect seasonal average surf that was caused by
former tropical cyclones to gradually fade to below average by
Saturday and hold into early next week as trades locally and upstream
remain disrupted.
Tiny surf along north facing shores as the swell from Lowell
continues to decline.

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.
