Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
310 PM HST Sat Sep 12 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south-facing shores will gradually decline through the
weekend as the small, medium- to long-period energy slowly fades.
A moderate, long-period swell generated by a low that passed near
Australia and New Zealand is forecast to arrive mid to late week
next week and bring a bump to south shore surf.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain small to moderate through
early next week, then build slightly over the latter half of the
week as the trade winds strengthen and some easterly swell from
Norbert potentially moves in. Flat to tiny surf along north
facing shores is expected through the forecast period.

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.
