Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
January 20-21, 2025
Forecast: The current long period northwest swell will decline. Surf heights along north and west facing shores will steadily decrease in line with this decreasing swell energy. Surf heights are expected to fall below advisory thresholds Monday. The next northwest swell may produce advisory level surf along exposed north and west facing shores Tuesday into Wednesday, then slowly fade through the end of the week. East shore surf will remain choppy the next few days as the trades build, and background south swell will keep surf small on south facing shores through the coming week.
