SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
852 AM HST FRI DEC 19 2025
DISCUSSION
A MODERATE, MEDIUM PERIOD, NORTH-NORTHWEST SWELL (340-350
DEGREE) WILL KEEP SURF ELEVATED THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY, JUST SHY OF
ADVISORY LEVELS FOR NORTH FACING BEACHES. ANOTHER MODERATE, MEDIUM
PERIOD, NORTHERLY SWELL (360-010 DEGREE) IS EXPECTED TO ENTER THE
WATERS LATE SATURDAY AND MAY BUMP SURF BACK UP TO NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS SWELL SHOULD FADE SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AND ALLOW SURF TO DROP TO BELOW SEASONAL
AVERAGES.
EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL GIVEN THE LACK OF TRADE WINDS
UPSTREAM OF THE ISLANDS, BUT AREAS EXPOSED TO THE NORTH SWELL
WILL SEE AN UPTICK THIS WEEKEND. SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES COULD
BECOME ROUGH AND CHOPPY SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS TRADE WINDS
GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN. SURF ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN FLAT
TO TINY THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
