Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
317 AM HST Wed May 27 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A small, long-period northwest swell will peak this morning for Kauai
and Oahu, and later this afternoon and tonight for Maui and the Big
Island as it moves down the island chain. North and west facing shores
will see moderate surf at the peak before gradually subsiding into the
weekend.
A medium-period south swell will continue to bring small surf to south
facing shores through Thursday. A more significant long-period south
swell is expected to begin filling in Thursday night and will likely
bring above-advisory-level surf to south-facing shores through the
weekend.
Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough through Thursday,
then gradually lower Friday into the weekend as trade winds ease.

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.
