Hey there, surfers and beachgoers! Ready to catch some waves and soak up the sun in Hawaii? Let's dive into the surf zone forecast for the islands.
So, here's the lowdown: We've got tiny surf sticking around on those north-facing shores for a bit, but keep your eyes peeled for a little northwest swell sneaking in over the weekend. Meanwhile, a south-southwest swell will show up tonight, peak on Tuesday, and then ease off as the week goes on.
Over on the east side, the choppy surf will calm down for a bit before picking back up as those trade winds make a comeback. And if you're looking for a bit of a wild ride, expect some rough surf on the east shores ramping up above the seasonal average by Friday into the weekend.
For the specifics on tonight and Tuesday, here's what to expect in a nutshell:
Up in Kauai, we're talking 1-3 feet on the north, 1-3 feet on the west, 2-4 feet on the south, and 3-5 feet on the east shores. As for the weather, you're looking at scattered showers tonight, then mostly sunny skies on Tuesday. Highs in the upper 60s and lower 80s. Wind-wise, you'll feel that gentle east breeze.
Jumping over to Oahu, similar surf conditions and weather patterns are in store, with some scattered showers tonight and mostly sunny skies tomorrow. High temps in the lower 80s with those east winds blowing at 10 to 15 mph.
Heading to Maui, expect more of the same - 1-3 feet on the north, 2-4 feet on the west and south, and 2-4 feet on the east. A mix of clouds and sun with isolated showers tonight and then mostly sunny on Tuesday. Highs in the mid-80s.
As for the Big Island, different areas will see 1-3 feet on the north and west, and 2-4 feet on the east and south shores. Remember those scattered showers tonight and partly sunny skies tomorrow. Highs in the mid-80s.
Remember, surf heights can vary, rip currents are a thing, so be cautious out there and maybe stick close to a lifeguard.
