Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
818 PM HST Fri Sep 11 2026
.DISCUSSION...
Surf along south facing shores will gradually decline through the
weekend as the small medium to long period energy slowly fades.
Currently a low in the south pacific near Australia and New
Zealand will bring the potential for a moderate long period swell
for Hawaii late next week.
East facing shores will also remain at small to moderate through
the forecast period due to the fresh to locally strong trade
winds. Flat to tiny surf along north facing shores is expected
through the forecast period.

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
