SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
335 PM HST SAT MAY 23 2026
DISCUSSION
CHOPPY AND ROUGH SURF CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG EAST-FACING SHORES
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. BASED ON NEARSHORE BUOY
OBSERVATIONS FROM TODAY, SURF ALONG EAST-FACING SHORES IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST BELOW ADVISORY THRESHOLDS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. IT WILL THEN TREND DOWN AS TRADE WIND SPEEDS GRADUALLY
EASE LOCALLY AND UPSTREAM.
A SMALL, MODERATE PERIOD NORTH-NORTHWEST SWELL WILL PEAK TONIGHT,
THEN GRADUALLY DECLINE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE A
SMALL BOOST IN SURF HEIGHTS ALONG NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES. A
SLIGHTLY LARGER NORTHWEST SWELL WILL FILL IN TUESDAY AND PEAK
WEDNESDAY, WHICH COULD BRING NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE
SUMMERTIME SURF FOR NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES.
A SMALL, LONG PERIOD SOUTH SWELL WILL PEAK THIS EVENING, RESULTING
IN SURF AT NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE. THIS SWELL WILL BEGIN
TO FADE ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER SIMILAR SOUTH SWELL WILL SLOWLY FILL
IN TUESDAY, PEAK WEDNESDAY, THEN SLOWLY FADE DURING THE SECOND
HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
