SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
354 AM HST SAT DEC 20 2025
DISCUSSION
A MODERATE, MEDIUM PERIOD, NORTHERLY SWELL WILL
DOMINATE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND AND BRING ELEVATED SURF
TO NORTH FACING BEACHES. HOWEVER, SURF SHOULD STAY JUST SHY OF HIGH
SURF ADVISORY CRITERIA. LATE SUNDAY THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK, NORTH
SWELL ENERGY FADES WHICH SHOULD ALLOW SURF TO DROP TO BELOW SEASONAL
AVERAGES.
SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL THROUGH TONIGHT GIVEN
THE LACK OF TRADE WINDS UPSTREAM OF THE ISLANDS, BUT AREAS EXPOSED TO
THE NORTH SWELL WILL SEE AN UPTICK. AS TRADE WINDS GRADUALLY
STRENGTHEN LATE SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK, EAST FACING SHORES
COULD BECOME ROUGH AND CHOPPY. SURF ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES WILL
REMAIN FLAT TO TINY THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
