Hawaii Surf Forecast Through Thursday: East Facing Shores Fire Up to Eight Feet, Trade Winds Strengthen

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.

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.

Hawaii Surf Forecast Saturday to Sunday: North Swell Fading, South Swell Peak Late Sunday

Good afternoon, this is your Hawaii surf forecast for Saturday, May 2nd through Sunday evening. We're looking at some interesting transitions this weekend across the islands. An existing small west-northwest swell is gradually fading, but don't worry, there's plenty of action to come. North and west facing shores will maintain some elevated surf as a slightly smaller northwest swell arrives early next week. And if you're patient, a longer period northwest swell is on the way late next week, generated by a developing low pressure system near Japan that's forecast to lift toward the Kuril Islands. For those chasing the southern exposure, this is your weekend to get excited. A long period south-southwest pulse is arriving, and it's going to peak late Sunday into Monday. So if you're thinking about checking out the south-facing breaks, timing is everything over the next day or so. There's one less exciting note though.
