Oahu Surf Zone Forecast FZHW52 PHFO 282330 CCA SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii...CORRECTED National Weather Service Honolulu HI 130 PM HST Fri Nov 28 2025 .DISCUSSION... The northwest swell that provided High Surf Advisory surf heights this morning will decline today through tonight. Surf across north and west facing shores will likely look fairly small tomorrow morning before an XL NW swell builds rapidly in the afternoon through the evening. This swell is expected to bring surf heights in excess of 30 to 40 feet at most north and west facing shores with larger waves at select outer reefs. East- facing chop will remain small through the weekend due to weak winds. Select south- facing shores will likely experience westerly wrap from this weekend's large northwest swell passage.

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.
