Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
318 AM HST Sat Oct 3 2026
.DISCUSSION...
A small background south swell will surf mostly steady along south
facing shores through the weekend. A new small, long-period south
swell, originating from a large fetch of gale force winds southeast of
New Zealand earlier this week, is forecast to arrive beginning Sunday
and peak Monday through Wednesday. This will push surf to slightly
above seasonal averages for the first half of next week.
A small bump in surf along north-facing shores will decrease today as
a small, short period north swell fades. Another small bump in north
shore surf is possible early next week as a small, medium-period
northwest swell arrives late Sunday and peaks on Monday. This will be
followed by a slightly larger long-period northwest swell peaking on
Wednesday, giving a good boost to north shore surf for mid-week. Surf
along east facing shores will increase and become more choppy through
tonight as easterly trades build back into the region.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low
Water (MLLW) datum in feet.
Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach along a
coastline. Surf larger than the upper end of the range provided in
the forecast will occur periodically, sometimes up to a few hours
apart. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near the surf zone,
with rip current strength increasing with surf size. Swimmers are
urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a
lifeguard.
