SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
401 AM HST WED JAN 14 2026
DISCUSSION
THE NORTHWEST (310-330 DEGREE) SWELL THAT PEAKED YESTERDAY WILL
CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY FADE TODAY, THOUGH SURF HEIGHTS ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST
FACING SHORES. THE NEXT EXTRA LARGE, LONG PERIOD NORTHWEST
(310-330 DEGREE) SWELL WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION LATE TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY, LIKELY PRODUCING ANOTHER ROUND OF WARNING LEVEL
SURF ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES LASTING THROUGH
FRIDAY. SURF ALONG NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES WILL THEN
LINGER NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS SATURDAY BEFORE ANOTHER REINFORCING
NORTHWEST SWELL BRIEFLY BOOSTS SURF HEIGHTS BACK TO NEAR WARNING
LEVELS ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. THE CURRENT HIGH SURF ADVISORY
REMAINS IN EFFECT TODAY, BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A
HIGH SURF WARNING BY TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INCOMING SWELL.
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.
