Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast

June 10-11, 2026
Forecast: A series of southern hemisphere swells will continue through the week, with the largest south swell due to arrive this weekend. Currently, a small long-period south swell is overlapping a fading medium- period swell, and is producing inconsistent near seasonal average south shore surf. These swells will slowly decline Wednesday into Thursday. A smaller pulse of south-southwest swell will fill in late Thursday into Friday, keeping surf elevated along south facing shores.
Long period energy from a storm that formed just east of New Zealand Tuesday, is now filling in at the American Samoa buoy at 20 seconds. This swell is expected to gradually fill in locally late Friday into Saturday. Wave models have this swell peaking Sunday into Monday, that could produce High Surf Warning conditions. This swell will coincide with the peak monthly tides, and will likely lead to significant wave runup and impacts to coastal infrastructure during the first half of next week.
A small west-northwest swell will hold into Wednesday and fade Thursday. East shore surf will slowly decline below seasonal average Wednesday through the rest of the week, as trade winds locally and upstream ease.
