Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
338 PM HST Tue Mar 10 2026

.DISCUSSION...

A series of small, medium- to long-period west-northwest swells
will bring small surf to north and west facing shores through the
rest of the week. The first of these will continue to build through
tonight and peak on Wednesday, resulting in a slight bump in surf
along north and west- facing shores. Additionally, a small, medium-
period north swell is also possible late this week.

Choppy surf along east-facing shores will continue to trend downward,
falling below seasonal levels on Wednesday as winds veer southerly.
With the shift of wind direction, surf along south-facing shores will
increase, becoming rough and choppy. Late this week, another round of
stronger southerly winds will cause south shore surf to build further,
meanwhile a series of small, long- period south swells moves through.

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.
