Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
338 PM HST Mon Feb 23 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A rapidly building, long period north-northeast (010-030 deg) swell
will produce breaking waves at High Surf Warning levels across most
north and east facing shores tonight and Tuesday. Due to the
direction of the large swell, exposed west facing shores on West Maui,
western Molokai, and North Kohala on the Big Island will likely
experience High Surf Advisory conditions. The north-northeast swell
will gradually decline Tuesday night through Friday. In addition to
this swell, a small pulse of overlapping west-northwest swell is
expected through Wednesday. Very small wintertime surf will continue
along south facing shores this week.
