Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast



 April 3-4, 2026


Forecast: The short period northeast swell will continue a gradual decrease through the weekend, as the northeast trade winds slowly diminish. As a result, surf along north- and east-facing shores surf will gradually decline through the rest of the week, but will still retain a little size and chop, due to the moderate to locally breezy trades.

North- and west-facing shore surf will remain small to tiny until the arrival of a small, medium-period west-northwest (310 degree) swell Friday night and a second small, medium-period northwest (340 degree) swell late Saturday. A small to moderate medium-period west-northwest swell looks to arrive early next week, and fills in by mid-week.

Along south facing shores, expect small reinforcements to provide periods of small surf through the weekend, until a slightly larger long period south swell fills in early next week.
