Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
346 PM HST Sat Jul 11 2026

.DISCUSSION...
The current small medium-period south-southwest (190-200 degrees)
swell will hold surf along south-facing shores below the summer
average through the evening. A small to moderate, long-period
southwest swell (220 degrees) will fill in tonight through Monday,
which will boost surf through early next week.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough and choppy through
the forecast period as fresh to strong trades hold. A small, long-
period west-northwest (280 to 290 degrees) swell will arrive midweek,
sourced from Typhoon Bavi in the far western Pacific. No significant
north or northwest swells are expected, so surf along north-facing
shores is expected to remain flat to tiny.

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.
