Oahu Surf Zone Forecast FZHW52 PHFO 200136 SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii National Weather Service Honolulu HI 336 PM HST Fri Apr 19 2024 .DISCUSSION...The current south-southwest swell will gradually decline into Saturday. On Sunday, the first of a series of small south to south-southwest swells is forecast to arrive. These swells should prevent south-shore surf from going flat over the next week. For the north-facing shores, a small, short-period north swell should continue into Saturday. A moderate, medium-period north swell is expected to arrive on Saturday night. Surf along east-facing shores will remain small through the weekend and may increase slightly early next week as the trades strengthen.

Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) datum in feet. Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach along a coastline. Surf larger than the upper end of the range provided in the forecast will occur periodically, sometimes up to a few hours apart. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near the surf zone, with rip current strength increasing with surf size. Swimmers are urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a lifeguard.
