Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast
January 23-24, 2025
Forecast: A pair of large long-period and short-period northwest swells is producing large disorganized surf along north facing shores. A High Surf Advisory is now in effect for north facing exposures through Friday. A storm-force low currently located north of Oahu, is expected to send a large north to north-northwest swell into Friday. This swell should arrive Thursday afternoon into the evening and peak Thursday night then gradually decline on Friday. A series of moderate northwest to north-northwest swells are possible early next week. Surf will continue to remain at background levels along south facing shores through the weekend. Surf along select east facing shores should see an increase late Thursday into Friday as the north swell fills in.
