Oahu Surf Zone Forecast FZHW52 PHFO 151340 SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast National Weather Service Honolulu HI 340 AM HST Sun Dec 15 2019 Oahu- 340 AM HST Sun Dec 15 2019 Surf along north facing shores will be 6 to 9 ft today, then rise to 12 to 16 ft Monday. Surf along west facing shores will be 3 to 5 ft today, then rise to 6 to 10 feet Monday. Surf along east facing shores will be 4 to 6 ft today, then 5 to 7 feet Monday. Surf along south facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through Monday. Outlook through Sunday December 22: The northwest swell will continue to fade through today, but a new and large northwest swell will reach the north and west facings shores of most islands Monday and Monday night, leading to advisory level surf. A more moderate northwest swell will roll in on Wednesday night and Thursday, resulting in near advisory level surf for the north and west facing shores. Small surf will continue through the period along the south facing shores, thanks to some small swells from the southeast and southwest. The stronger trades on tap for later this week, will result in elevated surf and possibly a high surf advisory for the east facing shores. Surf heights are forecast heights of the face, or front, of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average height of the one third largest waves, at the locations of the largest breakers. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.
