SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
823 AM HST FRI SEP 4 2026
DISCUSSION
SWELLS FROM HURRICANE LOWELL ARE FILLING IN AND WILL REMAIN ELEVATED
ABOVE HIGH SURF ADVISORY (HSA) CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY. A LARGE,
MEDIUM-PERIOD EAST SWELL FROM HURRICANE KARINA IS FILLING IN AND WILL
CONTINUE THOUGH THE WEEKEND, PRODUCING HIGH END ADVISORY LEVEL SURF ALONG
EAST FACING SHORES. THE SWELL FROM LOWELL WILL GRADUALLY VEER FROM
SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK. WHILE, THE FORECAST
FOR SWELLS AND SEAS FOR NEXT WEEK WILL HIGHLY DEPEND ON THE EVENTUAL
TRACK AND INTENSITY OF LOWELL, CONFIDENCE IS BEGINNING TO INCREASE FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF EXTRA- LARGE SURF (EXCEEDING WARNING LEVELS) ALONG
SOUTH AND WESTERN EXPOSURES EARLY NEXT WEEK. COINCIDING ALSO WITH
MONTHLY HIGH TIDES, THIS WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPACTS TO
HARBOR ENTRANCES, CHANNELS, AS WELL AS COASTAL PROPERTIES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING ROADWAYS.
