Maui Coastal Waters Forecast FZHW50 PHFO 120146 CWFHFO Coastal Waters Forecast National Weather Service Honolulu HI 345 PM HST Thu Dec 11 2025 Hawaiian coastal waters within 40 nautical miles including the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. 345 PM HST Thu Dec 11 2025 .Synopsis for Hawaiian coastal waters... A weak cold front is slowly progressing southeastward across the central waters around Maui this afternoon, where it is expected to stall this evening and dissipate by Friday. Gentle to moderate northerlies are filtering in behind the front with light and variable winds downstream. Another front will approach and possibly enter the northwestern coastal waters around Kauai late Saturday into Sunday, where it will then stall. Light southeasterlies will veer more southwesterly and strengthen on Saturday as the front approaches, becoming more westerly behind the front. Numerous showers with locally heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms are possible in association with this frontal boundary. The proximity of this feature will also maintain a southerly flow across most of the region through the rest of the forecast period.
