Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
August 27-28, 2026
Forecast: A small, long period south swell will continue to fill in and peak Thursday afternoon into Friday. This swell could push surf towards advisory thresholds, before slowly fading over the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy, due to the persistent trade wind swell. A small, medium period east swell from former Tropical Storm Iselle may fill in Friday, peak Saturday before slowly fading into early next week. Surf along north facing shores will remain tiny to flat.
