Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
August 2-3, 2026
Forecast: Surf along south facing shores will stay below seasonal averages, as consecutive small south to southwest medium period swells, impact the shorelines through the middle of the upcoming week. East facing shores will remain rough and choppy due to a combination of strong trade winds, and a small, medium period easterly swell generated from Tropical Storm Genevieve, that will linger into early in the week. By early next week, as trade winds gradually weaken, surf will also decline slightly. Surf along north facing shores will remain flat to tiny through the forecast period, except for areas exposed to the easterly trade wind wrap.
