Hawaii Surf Report/Forecast



May 22-23, 2025



Forecast:  Surf along south facing shores will remain small to moderate as a long period south-southwest swell is expected to fill in Thursday. A second pulse from the same direction will fill in over the weekend and keep small to moderate surf through the weekend, before declining early next week.

East shore surf will remain near seasonal average during the next couple of days as trade winds persist. Tiny surf will prevail along north facing shores this week into the weekend.
