Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
September 18-19, 2026
Forecast: A south swell will fill in early Friday and surf will reach near advisory levels by Saturday. Surf along east-facing shores will continue over the next several days as the east swell from Norbert declines, but it will be replaced by chop from the building trade winds. Flat to tiny surf along north facing shores is expected through the forecast period.
