Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
April 13-14, 2026
Forecast: A moderate, medium-period, north-northwest swell (340 degrees), generated by the formerly-gale force low, north-northwest of the Hawaiian islands is filling in along north and west facing shores. This swell will maintain small to moderate surf through Monday, followed by a decline in northwest swell energy for the rest of the week. A medium-period, south swell will continue to decline through Monday. By Tuesday, however, a new south swell will arrive, once again providing a boost to surf along south facing shores through mid-week, before gradually subsiding into next weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain below seasonal average, with lighter than average trade winds near and upstream of the islands forecast through the week.
