Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
May 12-13, 2024
Forecast: Surf along south facing shores remains elevated, but will slowly decline, and then hold into early in the upcoming week, as a long-lived, small south swell continues to affect the islands. Although the swell size itself will remain largely unchanged through Sunday night, the period will gradually shorten, allowing surf heights to slowly trend down. Another series of overlapping, long-period south swells will begin moving in on Tuesday, with reinforcements giving another noticeable boost to south shore surf from Wednesday through the rest of the week. A small, short-period north-northwest swell will decline. A reinforcing small, long-period northwest swell will build Sunday night, giving north shore surf a boost early in the new week. Surf along east facing shores will be well below normal levels through the middle of the week.
