SURF ZONE FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
414 AM HST WED APR 8 2026
DISCUSSION
THE CURRENT SOUTH-SOUTHWEST SWELL CONTINUED TO FILL IN OVERNIGHT
AND LATEST NEAR-SHORE BUOYS ARE AT AROUND 4 FEET 17 TO 18 SECONDS
THIS MORNING. WE SHOULD SEE THIS SWELL CONTINUE TO FILL IN A LITTLE
BIT MORE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE EASTERN END
OF THE STATE, WHERE OFFSHORE BUOY (51004) IS SHOWING LARGER READINGS.
THIS SWELL SHOULD SLOWLY DROP TONIGHT THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. A
HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL SOUTH FACING SHORES OF THE
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS THROUGH TONIGHT.
ALONG NORTH FACING SHORES, A NEW MODERATE LONG-PERIOD NORTHWEST
(310-320 DEGREE) SWELL CONTINUES TO FILL IN THIS MORNING AND WILL
STEADILY RISE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. THIS SWELL SHOULD PEAK
JUST BELOW ADVISORY THRESHOLDS LATER TODAY. A SMALLER SHORT-PERIOD
NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
AS THE LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SWELL DECLINES ON THURSDAY, STRONG TO
GALE FORCE SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ON THURSDAY
AND STRENGTHEN EVEN FURTHER THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THIS
INCREASE OF SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BRING A RAPID INCREASE OF SHORT-
PERIOD ENERGY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AND WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING SURF
HEIGHTS ABOVE THE ADVISORY THRESHOLDS FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES.
LARGE DISORGANIZED SURF IS EXPECTED ALONG MANY SOUTH FACING SHORES
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES COULD SEE AN INCREASE LATER THIS
WEEK DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ESPECIALLY FOR
SOUTHEAST EXPOSURES.
