SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
851 AM HST WED JAN 14 2026
DISCUSSION
THE CURRENT MODERATE MEDIUM PERIOD NORTHWEST (310-330)
SWELL WILL SLOWLY FADE TODAY, BUT CONTINUE TO PRODUCE ADVISORY LEVEL
SURF THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING
SHORES. THE NEXT EXTRA LARGE, LONG PERIOD, NORTHWEST (320-340) SWELL
WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION LATE TONIGHT, PEAK THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THEN
SLOWLY FADE THROUGH FRIDAY AND ONCE AGAIN ALLOW SURF TO BREACH HIGH
SURF WARNING CRITERIA ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES.
SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL THROUGH MOST OF THIS
WEEK DUE TO SHIFTING WIND DIRECTIONS FROM THE PASSING FRONTS.
HOWEVER, SOME EAST FACING SHORES SENSITIVE TO NORTHERLY SWELLS MAY
EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT UPTICK IN SURF HEIGHTS THIS WEEKEND AS THE
FADING NORTHWESTERLY SWELL BECOMES MORE NORTHERLY. SOUTH SHORES WILL
SEE A SLIGHT BUMP FROM WIND WAVE ENERGY TODAY DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING
SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. OTHERWISE, NO NOTEWORTHY SOUTH SWELLS
ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
