Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
334 AM HST Thu May 28 2026

.DISCUSSION...
The current small, long-period northwest swell will continue
to very slowly subside overnight. Expect north- and west-facing surf
to continue to gradually subside into the weekend.

A series of medium-period south swells will continue to bring
small surf to south facing shores today. A more significant long-
period south swell is expected to begin filling in tonight, bringing
advisory level surf to south-facing shores Friday and into the
weekend. Elevated surf along south-facing shores will likely continue
into the first week of June.

Rough surf along east-facing shores will gradually lower through
the weekend as trade winds ease.

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.
