Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
318 PM HST Sun Mar 8 2026
.DISCUSSION...Surf along east facing shores will gradually trend
downward on Monday, then fall below normal levels Tuesday through
late this week.
A series of west-northwest swells will keep some small surf in
place along north and west facing shores during the next 7 days,
but remain well below advisory levels. A small to moderate sized
north swell is possible late this week.
Surf along south-facing shores will remain small, with the
exception of areas exposed to trade wind swell wrap. Rough and
choppy conditions will develop Tuesday and continue through late
week as southerly winds increase in advance of a front. A series
of small long-period south swells will also move through Monday
through late this week.
