SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
905 AM HST MON SEP 7 2026
DISCUSSION
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SWELL FROM HURRICANE LOWELL WILL RAPIDLY BUILD TODAY.
AS A RESULT, SURF ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES WILL BEGIN TO RISE FROM
ADVISORY LEVELS THIS MORNING TO WARNING LEVELS BY THIS AFTERNOON AND
PEAK OVERNIGHT. THE SWELL WILL INCREASINGLY SHIFT OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST TONIGHT. DUE TO THE TRACK OF LOWELL WEST OF THE MAIN
ISLANDS, A SHARP GRADIENT IN SWELL IS EXPECTED FROM WEST TO EAST. THIS
WILL BRING DAMAGING SURF TO PORTIONS OF KAUAI COUNTY AND POSSIBLY
OAHU. SWELL ENERGY IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY DECLINE ON TUESDAY. A
MODERATE, LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SWELL ALSO ARRIVE TODAY AND PEAK OVERNIGHT
INTO TUESDAY, BUT WILL BE OVERWHELMED BY THE LARGER SWELL FROM
HURRICANE LOWELL. ALTHOUGH IT BEGINS TO FADE ON TUESDAY, IT WILL KEEP
SOUTH SHORE SURF SOMEWHAT ELEVATED THROUGH THURSDAY.
A LARGE, MEDIUM-PERIOD EAST SWELL FROM FORMER TROPICAL STORM KARINA
WILL COMBINE WITH INCREASING EAST TO SOUTHEAST WIND WAVE GENERATED BY
HURRICANE LOWELL TO KEEP ADVISORY LEVEL SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES
THROUGH TUESDAY. SURF ALONG NORTH FACING SHORES WILL ALSO EXPERIENCE
A SMALL INCREASE ON TUESDAY AS LOWELL LIFTS NORTH OF THE ISLAND CHAIN
AND THEN FADE THROUGH THE WEEK.
