NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
347 PM HST TUE JAN 20 2026
DISCUSSION
OVERLAPPING WEST-NORTHWEST TO NORTH-NORTHWEST SWELLS WILL PRODUCE
SURF AROUND HIGH SURF ADVISORY LEVELS FOR EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST
FACING THROUGH FRIDAY. THE LATEST WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL WILL PRODUCE
SURF JUST BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS ALONG NORTH AND WEST SHORES OF KAUAI
AND OAHU DURING ITS PEAK TONIGHT, WITH GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE FRONT
PRODUCING ROUGH CONDITIONS ON KAUAI AND POSSIBLY ON OAHU CLOSER TO
DAYBREAK. OVERLAPPING PULSES OF WEST-NORTHWEST SWELL, SIMILAR IN SIZE,
WILL ARRIVE LATER WEDNESDAY AND KEEP SURF NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS,
MAINLY ON KAUAI AND OAHU, THROUGH FRIDAY. A SHARP DOWNWARD TREND AND
SHIFT OUT OF THE NORTH-NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED DURING THE WEEKEND,
FOLLOWED BY A POTENTIALLY LARGE NORTHWEST SWELL NEXT TUESDAY.
EAST SHORE SURF WILL REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGE THROUGH THE
WEEK, THOUGH A BRIEF INCREASE IS POSSIBLE ON KAUAI TONIGHT DUE TO
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT. SURF ALONG SOUTH FACING
SHORES WILL REMAIN VERY SMALL THROUGH THE WEEK.
