Surf Forecast - Hawaii

5 Day Surf Forecast

Forecast Updated:
 
Sunday, March 22, 2026 1:48 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').

Outlook
Up slightly --- No clearly defined swell producing weather systems have occurred in the North and South Pacific over the past week. A pair of gales are forecast off Japan, the first on Sun (3/22) with 25 ft seas aimed east and the other one Tues-Wed (3/25) with 25 ft seas also aimed east. The first swell is to arrive in Hawaii on Thurs (3/26). And a major change is occurring over the equatorial dateline with westerly anomalies in place and forecast building there over the next 3 months. This is the signal that El Nino is trying to develop, perhaps strongly.
