Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
259 PM HST Sat Aug 15 2026
.DISCUSSION...High Surf Warnings remain in effect for all E facing
shores except Kauai where an advisory remains in effect. Surf rapidly
declines tonight for the eastern end of the state but will take
through Sunday to fall below the advisory threshold for the smaller
islands. The High Surf Advisory for Kauai may require an extention
into Sunday.
Choppy conditions for N shores as short period swell wraps from
the east through the weekend. For S shores, surf remains below
the advisory threshold but will receive a small boost as short
period swell associated with Lala works through the area. Long
period energy from a distant Southern Ocean swell maintains S
shore surf Sunday into Monday.
