Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
305 PM HST Sun Jul 19 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A south swell is expected to build tonight, then peak around the
advisory level Monday night into early Wednesday. A High Surf Advisory
will likely be required through this period. As this swell slowly
fades during the middle of the week, a new long period south swell
will arrive on Thursday, keeping surf elevated through next weekend.
Surf along north-facing shores will remain at flat to tiny
levels through next weekend.
Surf along east facing shores will lower slightly Monday through
Wednesday as the trades ease upstream of the islands. East shore surf
should then build back close to seasonal levels late in the week
through next weekend. Additionally, swell from Tropical Storm Elida
may give a slight boost to east shore surf during the middle of the
week.
