Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
September 21-22, 2026
Forecast: Surf along south-facing shores will remain above average over the next couple of days as a long period south-southwest swell holds relatively steady. This swell will then fade during the middle of the week, but will be followed by another small southerly swell shortly thereafter. West-facing shores will experience a bit of the southerly wrap.
Breezy trade winds will maintain moderate surf along east-facing shores for the next several days. Surf along north-facing shores will remain flat to tiny through Monday, but will see a slight rise Tuesday into Wednesday. Then a small, long-period west-northwest swell will build Friday into next weekend, increasing surf along north- and west-facing shores.
