Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
355 PM HST Wed Feb 11 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Strong trade winds will continue to bring advisory level surf to
east facing shores through tonight. Latest nearshore buoy
observations just started to show a downward trend in wave heights
and we should see a gradual downward trend tonight. Surf is
expected to fall just below advisory levels by Thursday, but will
remain rough and elevated for the foreseeable future. Trades are
expected to restrengthen over the weekend into early next week,
which will produce another round of advisory level surf and
possibly warning level surf along east facing shores of Oahu and
Kauai.

Small to medium northwest swells will continue through the weekend
with smaller surf expected during the first half of next week.
Currently we have a small northwest swell that filled in during
the day today and will be followed by a slightly larger northwest
swells Thursday and Friday. Small along south facing shores will
continue to remain small with some background windswell for select
exposures.

Product Legend:

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.
