Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii

349 AM HST Wed Apr 22 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A small, medium period, west northwest swell has leveled out this
morning and will gradually decline the next few days. A small
northwest swell reinforcement will fill in through the day.
A moderate size, medium period north northeast swell is arriving this
morning and will peak east-facing shore surf to advisory levels
today. This swell will produce above average surf for select north and
east facing shores before slowly declining through the remainder of
the week. Strengthening trades later this week will support closer to
seasonal average surf for eastern exposures this weekend.
West energy from former Super Typhoon Sinlaku is expected to come
through the next couple of days. This swell may lift surf along
better western exposures from today through the end of the week.

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.
