Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
347 AM HST Tue May 19 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A small size, short to medium period north northwest swell is
expected to fill in through the day. A gale low skirting the
Aleutian Islands the next couple of days will send the tail ends
of small north northwest swells through late this week.
A series of small, long period south southwest swells will provide
near summer average size surf along south-facing shores throughout
the week. Strengthening trades later this week will keep short
period, elevated eastern wind wave chop alive well into the
weekend.
