NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
359 PM HST FRI JAN 9 2026
DISCUSSION
SURF ALONG NORTH FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL AS THE CURRENT
NORTHWEST SWELL CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY DECLINE. SURF IS EXPECTED
TO BUILD RAPIDLY ON SATURDAY WITH LONG PERIOD FORERUNNERS
POTENTIALLY REACHING THE OFFSHORE BUOYS BY THIS EVENING. THIS SWELL
WILL LIKELY PEAK SATURDAY EVENING, PRODUCING SURF NEAR HIGH SURF
WARNING (HSW) LEVELS ALONG NORTH AND SOME WEST FACING SHORES. SURF
WILL REMAIN ELEVATED ON SUNDAY BEFORE AN EVEN LARGER LONG PERIOD
NORTHWEST (320-330 DEGREE) SWELL WILL BUILD THROUGH THE DAY ON
MONDAY AND HOLD THROUGH TUESDAY, LIKELY ABOVE THE HSW THRESHOLDS.
SURF WILL LIKELY REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS WINDS OVER AND UPWIND OF HAWAII REMAIN WEAK. SOME INCREASE IN EAST
SHORE SURF IS POSSIBLE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A COLD FRONT MOVES DOWN THE
ISLAND CHAIN. ALONG SOUTH SHORES, SURF WILL REMAIN VERY SMALL THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD.
