Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
400 PM HST Tue Jun 16 2026

.DISCUSSION...

The large, long period south southwest swell that brought warning
level surf to the state earlier this week will continue to slowly
decline. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect through tonight
for all south facing shores. Surf heights are expected to drop below
advisory levels by Wednesday. Another moderate, long period, south
southwest swell is expected to fill in Wednesday night into Thursday
that could push surf back up to HSA levels along south facing shores.
This swell will slowly fade Friday through the weekend.

Surf along north facing shores will remain flat to tiny through
the forecast period. Surf along east facing shores will remain
below average as easterly trade winds ease through the end of the
week.

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.
