Oahu Surf Zone Forecast FZHW52 PHFO 261422 SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast National Weather Service Honolulu HI 422 AM HST Sun Jan 26 2020 Oahu- 422 AM HST Sun Jan 26 2020 ...HIGH SURF WARNING FOR NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES... Surf along north facing shores will be 20 to 30 feet this morning, lowering to 18 to 25 feet this afternoon and lowering to 12 to 16 feet Monday. Surf along west facing shores will be 16 to 22 feet this morning, lowering to 12 to 20 feet late this afternoon and lowering to 9 to 13 feet Monday. Surf along east facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through Monday. Surf along south facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through Monday. Outlook through Sunday February 02: The current large northwest swell will begin to gradually decrease this afternoon and steadily decline through Tuesday. The next round of northwest swells is expected on Wednesday followed by another Friday into Saturday. Both of these swells could bring advisory level surf along north and west facing shores. Small surf will continue along south facing shores as background swells move through this week. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the week with an increase possible over the weekend as breezy trades return. 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.
