Oahu Surf Zone Forecast FZHW52 PHFO 261325 SRFHFO Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii National Weather Service Honolulu HI 325 AM HST Thu Nov 26 2020 .DISCUSSION... The northwest buoys are beginning to show signs of a higher, moderate period northwest swell that will reach north-facing shores late this morning and hold throughout the day. A series of slightly larger northwest swells will arrive Friday through Monday that will peak surf along north-facing shores Saturday night into Sunday. As these weekend swells subside early next week, much larger, longer period northwesterly swells emanating from a strong North Pacific gale will begin arriving late Monday or early Tuesday. This forecast northwest swell will provide a significant boost to north and west shoreline surf on Tuesday and Wednesday. The largest of these swells is forecast to arrive late Tuesday or early Wednesday. If these swells do materialize, this will easily produce mid week advisory to possibly warning level surf along north and west-facing shores. Slightly weaker easterly trades will level out as will east-facing shoreline surf going into the holiday weekend. Other than a bit of wrap from a steady, slightly lower east wind wave swell, surf along south-facing shores will remain small through the holiday weekend.

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.
