Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
314 PM HST Sun Oct 11 2026

.DISCUSSION...
A long-period south swell will hold through Monday, producing
elevated surf along south and west-facing shores, but it will
remain below advisory levels. South shore surf will decline
gradually Tuesday into Wednesday, but a new long-period south
swell arriving late Wednesday will provide another bump in surf
for Thursday and Friday.

A small long period northwest swell will keep small surf
in place tonight for north- facing shores. Surf could decrease a
little on Monday morning before another small, long- period
northwest swell arrives Monday afternoon and peaks Tuesday. This
swell is expected to boost north shore surf to moderate levels. A
moderate mid period north- northwest swell is possible by the end of
the week into the weekend, depending on the evolution of a projected
low in the north Pacific. However, confidence is low given differences
in model solutions with this feature.

Surf along east-facing shores will remain small as local winds
remain fairly weak with only slight variations each day. Small,
moderate-period west and east swells generated by multiple Pacific
tropical cyclones continue to move through the islands through
Monday.

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.
