Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
344 PM HST Thu May 7 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A moderate, long-period northwest swell will peak this evening for
Kauai and Oahu and continue to build this evening and peak overnight
for Maui and the Big Island. Elevated surf along north and west facing
beaches will gradually decline Friday into the weekend as the swell
fades.
A small, long-period south swell should provide a small bump in south
shore surf through the weekend. Another small, long-period south swell
is possible mid-next week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain below normal during the
next several days due to the lack of strong trades over and
upstream of the islands. East shore surf will gradually increase this
weekend into early next week as trades make a slow return.

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.
