Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast




  November 21-22, 2024



Forecast:  A series of north-northeast and northwest swells are due this week. A tiny northwest swell will peak through Friday. A moderate northwest swell will build late Saturday, peak Sunday, and decline Monday, followed by a smaller pulse on Tuesday. A medium period north swell will slowly build tonight and Thursday, and hold Friday and Saturday. A very deep storm off the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast will send an overlapping pulse of north-northeast swell late Saturday. This swell will peak Sunday into Monday, then drop off on Tuesday. None of these swells is expected to produce advisory level surf. As trade winds and the associated easterly wind wave energy steadily drop, east shore surf will decline through Friday, then fade out during the weekend. Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the week.
