National Weather Service Honolulu HI
359 AM HST Sun May 18 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Surf heights along south facing shores will hold at background 
levels through today before a series of small south and south-
southwest swells modestly boost south shore surf on Sunday. A 
further boost up to seasonal averages are possible during the 
middle to latter part of next week.

Surf heights along north and west-facing shores will remain very 
small during the next 7 days. Surf heights along east-facing 
shores will remain choppy through the end of next week.

Product Legend: 

Surf:        Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
             in feet.

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.
