SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
302 PM HST WED APR 8 2026
DISCUSSION
THE CURRENT SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SWELL THAT HAS PEAKED WILL SLOWLY
DROP TONIGHT THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL SOUTH FACING SHORES OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
THROUGH 6AM.
ALONG NORTH FACING SHORES, A MODERATE LONG-PERIOD NORTHWEST
(310-320 DEGREE) SWELL HAS ALSO PEAKED. HOWEVER A SMALLER SHORT-
PERIOD NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
AS THE LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SWELL DECLINES ON THURSDAY, STRONG TO
GALE FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN
EVEN FURTHER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS INCREASE OF
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BRING A RAPID INCREASE OF SHORT- PERIOD
ENERGY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AND WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING SURF HEIGHTS
ABOVE THE ADVISORY THRESHOLDS FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES. LARGE
DISORGANIZED SURF IS EXPECTED ALONG MANY SOUTH FACING SHORES
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES COULD SEE AN INCREASE LATER THIS
WEEK DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ESPECIALLY FOR
SOUTHEAST EXPOSURES.
