Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
July 30-31, 2026
Forecast: Nearshore buoys indicate continued decline in easterly swell. A small rise in short to medium period NE and north will arrive as Post-Trop Cyclone Fausto advances westward north of the islands. Flat to tiny surf returns Thursday. Surf along east shores will trend up Thursday night into the weekend, due to a combination of building short period trade wind swell, and renewed medium to long period east swell, this time emanating from Hurricane Genevieve in the east Pacific. A medium period south swell building will push south shore surf toward the summer average for Thursday. Surf then fades gradually through the weekend, while a mix of small south swells maintains surf slightly below the seasonal average.
