Oahu Surf Zone Forecast FZHW52 PHFO 301308 SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii National Weather Service Honolulu HI 308 AM HST Sat Aug 30 2025 .DISCUSSION... Surf along south facing shores will remain near summer average today as reinforcing energy from the south have filled in overnight. Surf is expected to steadily decline Sunday into Monday. Surf heights will return to background levels by early next week along south facing shores. Surf along north facing shores will see a small, short period swell expected to arrive late this weekend. This swell will be overshadowed by longer period energy out of the northwest starting Monday night of next week. This swell should peak on Tuesday and could produce surf heights near the September average of 4 to 6 feet. This should send another reinforcing pulse out of the north around the same time the northwest swell arrives. A mix of north and northwest swells are expected next Tuesday through Thursday. Below average surf is expected to continue along east facing shores due to gentle to moderate trade winds persisting through early next week.

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.
