Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
328 PM HST Tue Mar 31 2026

.DISCUSSION...

Moderate north and east-facing shore surf continues to be generated by
a short period north-northeast (020-030 degree) swell which will
gradually diminish tonight and Wednesday as it veers northeast. Shores
better exposed to this NNE swell will experience decent wind wave
chop generated by solid moderate trades.

Surf along west-facing shores will remain dominated by wrap around
from the north-northeasterly swell and will gradually diminish in
kind through the week. The next small, medium-period northwest and
west-northwest swells arrive this weekend to bring a small bump in
surf for west-facing shores. Along south-facing shores, expect
continued impulses to sustain small surf through the week.

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.
