SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
832 AM HST THU FEB 26 2026
DISCUSSION
SURF ALONG EXPOSED EAST-FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED TODAY DUE
TO A LINGERING NORTH-NORTHEAST SWELL. THIS, COMBINED WITH FRESH
ONSHORE TRADE WINDS, WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE ROUGH CONDITIONS ALONG
EAST-FACING SHORES, THEREFORE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT
TODAY. A DOWNWARD TREND IS EXPECTED FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE
SWELL EASES AND THE TRADES DIMINISH. SURF ALONG NORTH- AND WEST-FACING
SHORES WILL TREND UP BEGINNING SATURDAY AS A FRESH WEST-NORTHWEST
SWELL ARRIVES. THIS SWELL WILL PEAK EARLY NEXT WEEK BEFORE GRADUALLY
LOWERING INTO MIDWEEK. SURF ALONG SOUTH-FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN
NEAR THE SEASONAL AVERAGE INTO MARCH, BUT COULD TREND UP IN THE LONG
RANGE, POSSIBLY BY THE SECOND WEEK OF MARCH.
