Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
August 6-7, 2026
Forecast: Existing small south swell will fade and will be quickly replaced by a similarly sized medium period south swell Thursday. Small, medium period energy remains prevalent heading into the weekend. A larger, medium to long period south swell arrives early next week, and likely peaks shy of the High Surf Advisory threshold by the middle of next week. Long period forerunners are expected to arrive as early as Friday evening or Friday night. Along east shores, trade wind swell and moderate trades maintain elevated surf. Surf will build this weekend in response to strengthening trade winds. Surf along north and west shores remains flat to tiny through the period.
