South shores – We’ll see the active south swell waves continuing through mid-week, becoming smaller Thursday and Friday.

West shores –  The nice south swell waves will continue breaking on most of these beaches, tapering off after mid-week. An unusually late season west-northwest swell will bring a bump by mid-week into Thursday…then dropping Friday into the weekend.

East shores – Still a bit of south swell wrap breaking locally

North shores –  The small northwest swell will keep things going, although lowering through Wednesday. The out of season WNW swell will bring waves to some of these beaches for a few days.

Note:  Wave face sizes are approximately twice the surf forecast numbers indicated in the tables above.

2013 Hawaiian Tide Information

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.
