Descripción

Good afternoon from the National Weather Service in Honolulu. Here's your surf zone forecast for Hawaii through Thursday. We're looking at a transitional pattern across the islands as we head into the latter part of the week. Currently, that small north-northwest swell is on its way out, so expect it to keep declining through Thursday. The good news? A fresh batch of north-northwest swell is already in the pipeline and should arrive by Saturday, bringing us some nice action along the north and west-facing shores come the weekend. For the next several days, don't sleep on the south-facing beaches. A series of small, long-period south swells will keep things interesting with near-average conditions. But here's where it gets exciting—the trades are strengthening, and they're going to keep pushing solid surf along our east-facing shores well into next week. Let's break down what you're looking at tonight and Thursday by region. Across Kauai, north-facing shores will see one to three feet tonight dropping to nothing to two feet by Thursday afternoon. West-facing breaks stay tiny at zero to two feet throughout. South-facing shores are the play with consistent three to five-foot faces, while east-facing exposures are firing at five to seven feet tonight and ramping up to six to eight feet by Thursday afternoon. Winds will be out of the east around fifteen miles per hour with mostly sunny skies until six, then clouds move in with some scattered showers. Lows in the lower seventies. Oahu's looking similar with the same surf heights across the board. East-facing breaks are handling five to seven feet tonight and six to eight feet Thursday, so get out there if you've got a spot on that side. North and west faces are small, while south-facing beaches maintain that three to five-foot range. Expect mostly sunny skies Thursday with isolated showers. Winds will be stronger from the east at around twenty miles per hour. One heads up—we're talking extreme UV conditions Thursday, so slather on that sunscreen. Highs in the lower eighties. Maui's following the same swell pattern. East-facing shores are your best bet at five to seven feet tonight building to six to eight feet Thursday afternoon. Winds will be out of the east at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Mostly sunny Thursday with scattered showers possible. Highs in the lower eighties. On the Big Island windward and southeast side, north-facing shores will be small while east-facing spots are solid at five to seven feet tonight and six to eight feet Thursday. South-facing breaks maintain three to five feet. Expect mostly cloudy skies with showers likely tonight and Thursday morning. Winds northeast around ten to fifteen miles per hour with highs around eighty. The leeward side of the Big Island stays quiet with west-facing shores minimal at zero to two feet and south-facing beaches offering three to five feet both nights. Mostly sunny Thursday with scattered showers. Light winds shifting from west in the evening to south early Thursday then back to west in the afternoon. Highs in the mid-eighties. Remember, swimmers and surfers should always use caution in the surf zone. Rip currents will be present and their strength increases with surf size.

episode Hawaii Surf Forecast June 3-4: 8-12 Foot South Swell, North Shore Pumping Friday artwork

Hawaii Surf Forecast June 3-4: 8-12 Foot South Swell, North Shore Pumping Friday

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaiian surf forecast for Wednesday, June third through Thursday. A powerful south-southwest swell is working its way through the islands right now, and it's delivering some seriously fun conditions across all the southern-facing shores. The main event today and tonight is this large south-southwest swell that's gradually declining but still packing a punch. South-facing breaks are running eight to twelve feet across the board, and that's why we've got a High Surf Advisory in effect for these shores. If you're heading out to a south-facing beach, expect crowded lineups and respect those rip currents. Things will moderate a bit come Friday as the swell continues to fade, and by Sunday it'll be looking pretty mellow before another long-period pulse arrives early next week. For those of you chasing north shore juice, good news is heading your way. A small to medium-period north swell will start arriving Thursday and peak on Friday, giving you two solid days before it eases over the weekend. North-facing shores will be running three to six feet, which should satisfy most surfers looking for some quality sessions. The east-facing shores will be building throughout the week toward seasonal averages by Friday. Some spots that get wrapped by that north swell could see slightly larger sets Thursday night and Friday, so keep an eye on those exposures. The rest of the weekend and into next week should deliver near-average east shore conditions. Weather-wise tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with scattered showers moving through. Lows will drop into the lower seventies. Winds are running east at ten to fifteen miles per hour across most islands, though Oahu and Maui are looking at slightly stronger east winds around fifteen to twenty. The Big Island windward side will see more significant showers overnight. Thursday brings improving conditions with partly sunny skies and isolated showers. Highs reaching the lower to mid eighties depending on your location. Those same east winds continue around ten to fifteen miles per hour. The UV index is ramping up to very high levels, so definitely throw on that sunscreen. Tides are relatively modest, with highs around two feet and lows near zero feet, so you won't have dramatic tidal swings affecting your sessions. Bottom line: if you've got a south-facing break nearby, get out there tonight and Thursday while this swell is still delivering. North shore enthusiasts should pencil in Friday as the premium day. And remember, with larger surf comes stronger rip currents, so always swim near a lifeguard and stay aware of water conditions. Get out there and enjoy it.

episode Hawaii Surf Forecast High Surf Advisory South Facing Beaches 10 to 14 Feet Wednesday artwork

Hawaii Surf Forecast High Surf Advisory South Facing Beaches 10 to 14 Feet Wednesday

Good afternoon surfers and beach enthusiasts. Here's your Hawaii surf forecast for tonight through Wednesday. A fresh long-period south-southwest swell is filling in and will dominate conditions across the islands through midweek. South-facing shores are seeing the most dramatic response, with surf building to between 8 and 12 feet tonight, then climbing to an impressive 10 to 14 feet by Wednesday. While we're staying just shy of warning thresholds, these are substantial faces and a High Surf Advisory remains in effect across all islands for south-facing beaches. Expect this peak to hold through Wednesday afternoon before gradually declining through the latter half of the week. On the north shore, conditions are ramping up nicely. Surf will climb above seasonal averages by Wednesday, reaching 3 to 5 feet, then stay elevated through Thursday and Friday as a couple of northerly swells work their way in. These should gradually ease over the weekend. West-facing shores will see consistent energy with 6 to 8 feet building to 7 to 10 feet. East-facing beaches will remain subdued as expected, staying around 2 to 4 feet as conditions gradually return to normal by week's end. Weather-wise, tonight brings mostly cloudy skies with numerous showers and east winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour. Temperatures will drop into the lower to mid 70s depending on your island. Wednesday looks significantly better with mostly sunny skies and only isolated showers. East winds will pick up slightly to 15 to 20 miles per hour in some areas, and if you're on Oahu, expect extreme UV conditions, so apply that sunscreen generously. Remember, rip currents will be present and strengthening with larger surf, so always swim near lifeguarded beaches and exercise water safety.

Hawaii Surf Forecast Tuesday May 19 North Shore Swell Building East Facing Shores Fire

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaii surf zone forecast for Tuesday, May 19th. Let's dive into what's shaping up in the waters around the islands. We're looking at some interesting swell patterns developing over the next few days. A small, short to medium period swell from the north-northwest is filling in today, and that's just the warm-up act. Later this week, expect a more significant north-northwest swell to arrive, courtesy of a strong low-pressure system brewing near the Aleutian Islands. That should really get things moving on the north-facing shores. Down south, a consistent series of long-period south-southwest swells is keeping conditions near average along our southern coastlines. Meanwhile, strengthening trade winds are the real story here, maintaining elevated surf and fresh short-period swell along all east-facing shores heading into next week. Let's break down conditions by island, starting with Kauai. Tonight, expect mostly sunny skies until around six o'clock, then things turn mostly cloudy with scattered showers. It'll be warm, with lows in the lower seventies and light east winds at five to ten miles per hour. North and west-facing shores are running small, at two to four feet, while south-facing breaks are a bit more substantial at three to five feet. The east-facing shores are your go-to spot, firing at three to five feet tonight and building to four to six feet Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday brings partly sunny skies with scattered showers persisting, highs in the mid-eighties, and east winds picking up to ten to fifteen miles per hour. Over on Oahu, tonight looks partly cloudy with scattered showers and a low in the lower seventies. East winds will run around fifteen miles per hour. The surf picture mirrors Kauai with north and west facing shores at two to four feet, south-facing at three to five feet, and east-facing shores at three to five feet tonight, climbing to four to six feet by Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday's looking mostly sunny with scattered showers, highs in the lower eighties, and east winds ramping up to fifteen to twenty miles per hour. Fair warning: the UV index Wednesday is hitting extreme levels, so sunscreen is absolutely essential if you're heading out. Maui conditions tonight show partly cloudy skies with scattered showers and lows in the lower seventies. East winds around fifteen miles per hour. North-facing shores are one to three feet, west-facing is minimal at zero to two feet, but south and east-facing shores both sit at three to five feet, bumping to four to six feet Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday stays mostly sunny with scattered showers, highs in the lower eighties, and east winds at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. The Big Island's windward and southeast side tonight will be mostly cloudy with numerous showers, lows in the lower seventies, and light northeast winds at five to ten miles per hour. North-facing shores are one to three feet, east-facing is three to five feet, and south-facing is the strongest at four to six feet, holding steady through Wednesday afternoon. Expect partly sunny skies Wednesday with scattered showers, highs around eighty, and northeast winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour. On the leeward side of the Big Island, tonight brings partly sunny conditions until six o'clock, then partly cloudy with scattered showers and lows in the lower seventies. Winds are light and variable. West-facing shores are running three to five feet, while south-facing is stronger at four to six feet. Wednesday looks mostly sunny with scattered showers, highs in the mid-eighties, and light winds from the southwest in the morning, shifting northwest by afternoon. One final reminder: rip currents will be present in and near the surf zone, and their strength increases with surf size. Swimmers should exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a lifeguard. For the latest beach hazard and safety information at individual beaches, visit hawaiibeachsafety.com.
