Surf Outlook:  The south shores will remain active with small surf, locally larger Friday…dropping some Saturday. Active small surf on the west shores during this time too…lowering Saturday.  Wind swell waves will remain active on the east shores Friday into Saturday. The north shores will find flat to very small surf…with a slight bit of wind swell breaking locally. 

South shores -  Surf will remain good Friday, lowering into the weekend. The waves will be on the rise again around Tuesday, peaking then into Wednesday…then lowering after mid-week. 

West shores – These beaches will find surf breaking from the south swell Friday. The surf will drop during the weekend, then rise again around Tuesday into Wednesday.

East shores – Surf along these shores will remain active, as the trade winds continue to push wind swell our way. As the trade winds remain active through the rest of this week into early in the new week…the wind swell will keep up.

North shores - Wind swell wrap will keep very small surf breaking along these shores…although it will be very small at most breaks…near flat at times. There are no northwest swells in sight, as is common during the summer surf season.   

Marine Warnings and Advisories:  Active watches and warnings

Note: Wave face readings are approximately twice the surf forecast numbers indicated in the tables above. 

I want to thank all of the Hawaii Weather Today surf report team for all those years of reporting on the TV weather show…which is now finished: Ole Olson on Kauai; Kaleo Ohina, Ian Masterson and Kyle Stanford on Oahu; Steven Mark, Mike Napier, Ken Potts and Ron Busby on Maui…and finally David Hume on the Big Island. Thanks to Mr. Pat Caldwell on Oahu for his continuing surf forecast skills. ~~~ Steven Mark and Mike Napier, both continue to send me daily surf reports for Hookipa Beach Park on Maui, and the Kihei area on the south coast.
