SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
335 AM HST FRI APR 24 2026
DISCUSSION
A PAIR OF NORTHERN GALE LOWS WILL SEND A SERIES OF SMALL SIZE
NORTH NORTHWEST SWELLS INTO THE LOCAL WATERS FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. THESE SWELLS SHOULD HELP MAINTAIN NEAR
AVERAGE SURF ALONG NORTH-FACING SHORES. A DEEPENING WEEKEND STORM LOW
DEVELOPING NEAR THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS MAY SEND A SLIGHTLY LARGER
NORTHWEST SWELL TOWARDS THE ISLANDS BY MID NEXT WEEK.
THE CURRENT SHORT TO MEDIUM PERIOD NORTH NORTHEAST SWELL WILL
CONTINUE TO DECLINE THIS EVENING. A SMALL FETCH OF FRESH NORTHEAST
WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH A VERY WEAK LOW NORTHEAST OF THE STATE COULD
PROVIDE A SHORT-LIVED REINFORCING SHORT PERIOD SWELL INTO THE WATER
LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. OTHERWISE, NEAR OR BELOW AVERAGE SURF IS
EXPECTED ALONG EASTERN EXPOSURES INTO NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE LACK OF ANY
SIGNIFICANTLY STRONG TRADE WIND ACTIVITY OVER OR UPSTREAM OF THE
STATE.
SMALL BACKGROUND ENERGY FROM THE WEST WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS AND FADE OUT THIS WEEKEND. A SMALL SOUTHWEST BUMP
FROM THE TASMAN SEA THAT PASSED ACROSS AMERICAN SAMOA'S 51209
BUOY WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE EARLY TOMORROW. NO
SIGNIFICANT SOUTH SWELL IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF
NEXT WEEK.
