SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
340 AM HST FRI MAR 20 2026
DISCUSSION
A MODERATE, MEDIUM PERIOD NORTH SWELL WILL BEGIN TO REBUILD TODAY AND
PEAK ON SATURDAY AS IT SHIFTS OUT OF THE NORTH-NORTHEAST, WHICH WILL
KEEP MODERATE SURF ALONG THE NORTH SHORES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A
SMALL, OVERLAPPING WEST- NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE LATE
SATURDAY AND HOLD INTO MONDAY. ASIDE FROM AREAS EXPOSED TO WRAPPING
NORTH SWELL, SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW
AVERAGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EARLY NEXT WEEK, THE DEVELOPMENT OF
NORTHEASTERLY TRADE WINDS COULD BRING A POTENTIALLY LARGER PULSE OF
MEDIUM PERIOD NORTH-NORTHEAST SWELL. THIS WILL ALLOW ROUGH SURF TO
RETURN TO EAST FACING SHORES, WHICH MAY APPROACH HIGH SURF ADVISORY
LEVEL.
A MODERATE SOUTH SWELL WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH TODAY, FOLLOWED BY A
SMALL REINFORCING SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SWELL THIS WEEKEND INTO MONDAY.
SMALLER SURF IS EXPECTED ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
