Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
May 27-28, 2026
Forecast: The current south swell will continue to fade while the next pulse of south swell energy arrives, providing a slight boost to south shore surf through mid-week. A more significant south swell is expected to begin filling in Thursday night, and will likely bring above-advisory-level surf to south-facing shores through the weekend. Forerunners from a small, long-period northwest swell began filling in along north-facing shores and is expected to peak locally Wednesday, raising surf to above- seasonal-average heights before gradually subsiding into the weekend. Surf along east-facing shores will remain rough through mid-week, then gradually lower later in the week as the trades ease.
