South shores – We’ll see the great south swell waves breaking Sunday, although slightly smaller, then slowly dropping going forward…although more of this good stuff ahead
West shores – Medium surf from southern hemisphere sources, through Sunday, then lower…although waves to come during the new week
East shores – Wind swell lowering…into the new week ahead, although a bit of south swell wrap breaking locally
North shores – The small northwest swell will keep things going Sunday…then another small, late season northwest swell around mid-week, last for a few days
Note: Wave face sizes 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 excellent 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 here on Maui.
