Surf Forecast - Hawaii

5 Day Surf Forecast

Forecast Updated:
 
Thursday, January 15, 2026 1:12 PM

Surf Scale: 3 ft = waist high, 4 ft = chest high, 5 ft = head high, 10 ft =double overhead
Swell Direction is direction swell is coming from. 90°=East, 180°=South, 270°=West, 360-0 = North

Forecast does NOT account for enhancing bathymetry (i.e the 'reef effect') common at best breaks. For top spots with swell period 14 +secs, multiply surf size X 1.25-1.5 with peaks X 2 (or consider the stated size 'Hawaiian Scale').

Another is forecast over the dateline falling southeast Fri-Sat (1/17) with up to 38 ft seas aimed southeast. Possible swell arrival on Sun (1/18). And maybe another to develop west of the dateline tracking east Sat-Sun (1/18) with 33 ft seas aimed east fading on the dateline. Another tiny one is forecast Sun-Mon (1/19) on the dateline with up to 38 ft seas over a tiny area aimed east. After that the gale machine is to take a break, A Westerly Wind Burst (WWB) is in-play today through the end of January injecting much energy into the jetstream courtesy of a developing solid Active Phase of the MJO.
