Episode Hawaiian Islands Surf Forecast: South Swell Easing Saturday, New Long Period South Swell Arriving Monday Cover

Beschreibung

Good afternoon everyone, it's Friday, June fifth, and we've got quite the swell transition developing across the Hawaiian Islands this weekend. Let's start with what's happening right now. That south-southwest swell that's been treating south-facing shores to advisory-level waves is finally starting to ease out. Think of it like a guest that had a great party but needs to head home. We'll see gradual improvements through the weekend. But here's where it gets interesting. A fresh, long-period south swell is arriving late Sunday and will really ramp up come Monday. This new swell isn't huge, we're talking small to moderate conditions, but those long-period waves tend to have a lot of punch and can be really fun to ride. On the north-facing shores, the medium-period north swell that peaked early this morning is fading steadily through the weekend. And early next week, there's a possibility of some tiny west-northwest swell, though nothing to get too excited about just yet. East-facing beaches will maintain choppy, near-average to slightly above-average conditions through the weekend and into early next week. So if you've got a favorite east-facing break, don't expect any major changes. Now let's break down what you'll see at specific islands. Across Kauai, Oahu, and Maui, tonight through Saturday, you're looking at consistent patterns. North-facing shores start at four to six feet this evening, dropping to three to five in the morning, then gradually trending down to two to four by Saturday afternoon. South-facing shores stay elevated at four to six feet through Saturday morning before settling to three to five feet. East-facing beaches hold steady at four to six feet all the way through. The Big Island's windward and southeast sides show similar trends, while the leeward side will be a bit smaller with west-facing shores at three to five feet tonight and Saturday morning, easing to two to four by afternoon. South-facing leeward spots maintain that four to six foot range through Saturday morning before dropping to three to five. Weather-wise, expect mostly sunny conditions Saturday with isolated showers. Temperatures will range from the lower seventies to mid-eighties depending on location. East winds will be consistent across most islands, running ten to fifteen miles per hour on some islands and slightly stronger on Oahu and Maui at fifteen to twenty. The Big Island's leeward side will be calmer with just light winds. As always, remember that these are average ranges. Larger sets will periodically arrive, sometimes a few hours apart. Rip currents will be present throughout the surf zone, and their strength will increase with larger surf. If you're heading to the beach, enter the water near a lifeguard and exercise proper caution.

South-facing shores are your best bet through Saturday, but get ready for that south swell to really shine come Monday. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the water.

Episode Hawaii High Surf Advisory South Shores Seven to Ten Feet Tuesday, New Swell Wednesday Thursday Cover

Hawaii High Surf Advisory South Shores Seven to Ten Feet Tuesday, New Swell Wednesday Thursday

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaii surf zone forecast for Tuesday evening through Wednesday, presented by the National Weather Service in Honolulu. We're tracking a significant south southwest swell that's been delivering warning level surf across the islands this week. The good news? It's starting to fade, but not before we see one more quality day of waves. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect through tonight for all south facing shores statewide. We're looking at impressive seven to ten foot faces on the south side, particularly along Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island. If you've been itching to paddle out on the south shores, tonight is your last chance before conditions drop. Here's what's happening overnight. Expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures dipping into the lower seventies. East winds will stay light at five to ten miles per hour, making for fairly comfortable conditions. North facing shores will remain small at one to three feet, while west facing breaks will hold solid three to six foot sets. Come Wednesday, the large swell will continue its decline. South facing shores will drop into that six to eight foot range, which means the High Surf Advisory will expire. We're expecting mostly sunny skies with isolated showers, highs in the mid eighties, and those same light east winds. However, don't pack away your board just yet. Here's where it gets interesting. Another moderate, long period south southwest swell is expected to move in Wednesday night into Thursday and could potentially push south facing shores right back up to advisory levels. This new energy will gradually fade through Friday and into the weekend. Meanwhile, north and east facing shores will remain relatively quiet throughout the entire forecast period. East facing breaks will stay below average as trade winds ease toward the end of the week, while north shores will stay flat to tiny. Conditions will be warm across all islands with temperatures in the lower to mid eighties and that persistent light east wind pattern. Remember, rip currents will be a factor in or near the surf zone, so swimmers should stay near lifeguards and exercise caution whenever entering the water. This is your Hawaii surf zone forecast.

Episode Hawaii Surf Forecast Monday June 15 2026 High Surf Warning South Facing Beaches 10 to 15 Feet Cover

Hawaii Surf Forecast Monday June 15 2026 High Surf Warning South Facing Beaches 10 to 15 Feet

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaii surf forecast for Monday, June 15th, 2026. A massive south southwest swell is dominating Hawaiian waters right now, and it's delivering serious surf to all south-facing shores across the islands. We've got a High Surf Warning in effect, and you should expect consistent warning-level conditions through tonight with waves running 10 to 15 feet. Here's the timeline: that big swell is going to gradually fade over the next couple days. By Tuesday morning, we're looking at surf dropping to High Surf Advisory levels along south-facing beaches, still respectable at 10 to 14 feet, but easing down to 9 to 12 feet by afternoon. Wednesday's looking even smaller, with potential for surf to drop below advisory levels entirely. But don't pack away your board just yet. Another south southwest swell is expected to move in Wednesday night into Thursday and could push conditions right back up to advisory territory. The situation on north-facing shores couldn't be more different. We're talking tiny to flat conditions right now with little swell energy arriving. A small bump is possible Tuesday into Wednesday when a northwest swell and a smaller north swell arrive, but we're only expecting 1 to 3 feet at best. East-facing shores will remain below average as winds ease through midweek, while west-facing beaches are holding steady at 5 to 10 feet through tomorrow. Tonight expect mostly clear to partly cloudy skies with isolated showers. Temperatures dropping to the lower 70s with light winds. Tuesday shapes up sunny with highs in the low to mid 80s and similar wind conditions. Stay safe out there, respect those rip currents, and get out near a lifeguard. This is your Hawaii surf forecast.

Episode Hawaii Surf Forecast June 14-15: High Surf Warning South Shores Ten to Fifteen Feet Waves Expected Cover

Hawaii Surf Forecast June 14-15: High Surf Warning South Shores Ten to Fifteen Feet Waves Expected

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaii surf forecast for Sunday June 14th through Monday June 15th. A large long-period south-southwest swell is dominating the islands right now and will peak tonight into Monday before gradually declining through the rest of the week. Another reinforcement is expected around Thursday, which means elevated surf will stick around south-facing shores for most of this week. If you're chasing waves on the south side, this is your time to shine. Unfortunately, north-facing shores are getting the short end of the stick with very little swell energy arriving, leaving conditions tiny to flat. However, there's a small glimmer of hope. A minor bump in surf is possible by late Tuesday into Wednesday when a small northwest swell and north swell combination arrives. It won't be epic, but it's something to keep an eye on. East-facing shores will also feel underwhelming this week as gentle to moderate east-northeasterly winds are expected to keep surf below seasonal averages. Let's break down the specifics by region. A HIGH SURF WARNING is in effect for south-facing shores across all islands tonight and Monday. Kauai's south shores are looking at ten to fifteen foot surf with west-facing shores ranging seven to ten feet. North and east-facing shores will stay small at zero to two feet and one to three feet respectively. Expect partly cloudy skies with isolated showers, low temperatures in the lower seventies, and east winds five to ten miles per hour tonight. Oahu is facing the same high surf warning with identical conditions. South-facing shores ten to fifteen feet, west-facing seven to ten feet, while north and east sides remain one to three feet or smaller. Tonight brings scattered showers, lower seventies, and northeast winds ten to fifteen miles per hour. Monday will be mostly sunny with an extreme UV index, so bring that sunscreen. Maui's south shores are also ten to fifteen feet with west-facing shores more moderate at five to seven feet. The north and east sides again stay minimal. Mostly cloudy conditions develop tonight with scattered showers and east winds around ten miles per hour. The Big Island's windward and southeast areas are under the same high surf warning with ten to fifteen foot south-facing surf and one to three feet on the east side. North-facing shores remain flat. Leeward areas show five to seven foot west-facing surf and ten to fifteen feet on the south side. Monday shapes up pretty much identical to tonight across all islands with mostly sunny skies, isolated showers, and consistent wind patterns. Temperatures will reach the lower to mid eighties. Bottom line: South-facing shores are firing with solid ten to fifteen foot waves and a high surf warning in place. If you're on the north or east side, patience is your best friend right now. The action will continue through Monday and beyond, so get out there and make the most of this south swell before it starts declining mid-week.

Episode Hawaii Surf Forecast Saturday June 13th 2026 High Surf Advisory South West Facing Shores Eight to Fourteen Feet Cover

Hawaii Surf Forecast Saturday June 13th 2026 High Surf Advisory South West Facing Shores Eight to Fourteen Feet

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaii surf forecast for Saturday, June 13th, 2026. A significant south southwest swell is on the way, and it's going to bring some serious waves to the islands. We're expecting this long-period swell to build overnight and peak Sunday night into Monday before gradually declining through the rest of the week. Nearshore buoys are already showing wave heights increasing this afternoon with a dominant 22-second period, which is nice and organized. The swell will continue to fill in tonight into Sunday morning, so if you're planning to be in the water, expect conditions to get noticeably better as we move through the weekend. Along exposed south and west-facing shores, surf heights will reach advisory levels, and we've issued a High Surf Advisory beginning tonight and continuing through Monday night. There's also potential for warning-level surf Sunday night into Monday along south-facing beaches, though our confidence is a bit lower that far out. We're monitoring the buoys closely and may upgrade this as we get closer. Here's what to expect by region. South shore surf will remain elevated through much of next week due to the slow decline of this large swell and a series of overlapping southerly swells. If you're chasing waves on the south side, you'll have plenty of opportunities ahead. The north facing shores will stay tiny to flat as very little swell energy is arriving from that direction. However, early next week a small northwest swell and a smaller north swell could bring a slight bump in activity for those beaches. East-facing shores will continue to see small surf thanks to gentle to moderate east-northeasterly winds expected throughout the week. A weak front is holding up north and west of the islands, keeping conditions relatively stable. Let's break down what you can expect at individual beaches. West-facing shores will see four to six foot surf tonight, building to six to eight feet Sunday morning and remaining at six to eight feet through Sunday afternoon before jumping to seven to ten feet by evening. South-facing shores tell an even more impressive story, starting at six to eight feet tonight and climbing to eight to twelve feet by Sunday morning, staying there through the afternoon, then reaching ten to fourteen feet by Sunday evening. North and east-facing shores will remain relatively modest with zero to two feet and one to three feet respectively throughout the forecast period. Weather-wise, expect partly cloudy skies tonight with a low in the lower seventies and northeast winds at five to ten miles per hour. Sunday brings mostly sunny conditions with isolated showers, highs in the lower to mid-eighties, and winds increasing to around fifteen miles per hour in the afternoon. The UV index will be extreme on Sunday, so get that sunscreen on. Tide-wise, we've got some nice low tides developing early Sunday morning across the islands, which should help shape some quality peaks along the reef breaks. Remember, with surf this size, expect rip currents in and near the surf zone, with their strength increasing as the waves get bigger. Swimmers are urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a lifeguard.

This weekend and early next week should deliver some great opportunities across south and west-facing shores. Stay safe, have fun, and we'll see you in the water.

Episode Hawaii Surf Forecast June 12-13 2026: Small South Swell Friday, Large Swell Building Saturday Into Monday Cover

Hawaii Surf Forecast June 12-13 2026: Small South Swell Friday, Large Swell Building Saturday Into Monday

Good morning, this is your Hawaii surf forecast for Friday, June 12th through Saturday, June 13th, twenty twenty-six. We're looking at small pulses of southerly swell bringing slightly below average conditions to south facing shores heading into Saturday. But here's where it gets interesting. Surf is set to trend up Saturday afternoon as the forerunners from a massive long-period swell originating southeast of New Zealand start arriving. We're expecting this swell to peak Sunday into Monday, approaching warning levels though most likely staying at advisory levels. South shore breaks are going to stay elevated throughout much of next week thanks to the slow decline of this large south swell and a series of overlapping southerly pulses. North and west facing shores are pretty quiet right now with tiny to flat conditions. However, early next week could bring a small bump in surf as a northwest swell and a smaller north swell move in. Meanwhile, east facing shores are dealing with weaker than average trade winds, keeping conditions below average through the weekend and into early next week. Looking at the specific islands, conditions are fairly consistent across Kauai and Oahu. Tonight you'll see north facing shores at zero to two feet, west facing shores at one to three feet, south facing shores holding two to four feet, and east facing at one to three feet. Saturday morning stays similar before the afternoon jump, with south facing shores reaching four to six feet and west facing pushing three to five feet. Maui shows a slightly gentler pattern with west facing shores at zero to two feet tonight and one to three feet Saturday, while the south side maxes out four to six feet Saturday afternoon. The Big Island leeward side is similar, with south and west facing shores in that three to five foot range tonight, bumping to four to six feet on the south side by Saturday afternoon. The Big Island windward and southeast side shows east facing shores at two to four feet tonight, though those will trend down to one to three feet by Saturday as those weak trades continue. Weather wise, expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies across the islands with isolated showers possible. East to northeast winds will be light, five to ten miles per hour. Low temperatures tonight dropping into the lower seventies on most islands, with highs Saturday in the lower to mid eighties. Watch for an extreme UV index Saturday. High tide at Honolulu hits two point six feet at three twenty-two PM Saturday. Sunrise is five forty-nine AM, sunset at seven fifteen PM. Stay hydrated, watch out for rip currents as surf increases, and remember to always swim near lifeguards. This has been your Hawaii surf forecast.
