Hey there surfers and beachgoers, let's dive into the surf zone forecast for Hawaii brought to you by the National Weather Service in Honolulu!
So, here's the scoop: we're looking at a mix of swells making their way to the islands. Expect a peak in the medium period north-northwest swell tonight, gradually decreasing by Sunday. Another similar swell is rolling in on Tuesday, so get ready for some potentially fun waves shifting directions as the week progresses.
For those on the south shores, keep an eye out for small yet inconsistent waves coming your way with a chance of a slightly larger swell next Tuesday. And who's up for a moderate south-southwest swell next weekend? Long-period forerunners are getting things started on Saturday and aiming to peak on Sunday with heights around 3 to 4 feet.
Now, as for East shore surf, it's going to remain small, but don't worry – select spots might catch some of those north swells spicing up the week!
Let's break down the forecast for some specific areas, shall we?
Starting with Kauai, tonight's looking at 4-6 feet on the North Facing shores, dropping to 3-5 feet by Sunday morning. West and South Facing shores will see waves in the 2-4 feet range. And for all you early risers out there, East Facing shores can expect 2-4 feet of surf.
Moving on to Oahu, similar surf heights across the board with North, West, South, and East Facing shores all in the 2-4 to 5-7 feet range.
Over on Maui, expect comparable conditions with some smaller waves on the West Facing shores.
And for the Big Island - windward and southeast areas - 1-4 feet for the North and South Facing shores. While over on the leeward side, West and South Facing shores will see 0-3 feet up to 2-4 feet of surf.
Weather-wise, it's looking partly cloudy with isolated showers tonight. Tomorrow, mostly sunny skies and more isolated showers for a perfect day of catching waves.
Remember, surf heights can vary, and rip currents may be present, so keep an eye out and stay safe out there!
