Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
August 30-31, 2026
Forecast: The south swell that peaked just below the advisory threshold continues to decline over the next few days. A long period south swell brings increasing surf to south and exposed west shores beginning Tuesday, and peaking on Wednesday near the High Surf Advisory threshold. Surf along east shores remains choppy due to trades over and upstream of the islands. A small, medium period east swell from former Tropical Storm Iselle will diminish during the next 24 hours.
