Good afternoon everyone, this is your Hawaii Surf Forecast for Saturday evening through Sunday, March 28th and 29th, 2026.

A northwest swell will be winding down tonight, but don't worry, the ocean has something fresh brewing. A new short-period north-northeast swell is moving in and will build significantly throughout Sunday, pushing surf heights along north and east-facing shores to near advisory levels by day's end. Both shorelines will likely see advisory conditions Sunday night into Monday before this swell gradually fades through the rest of the week.

Let's break down what's happening island by island.

On Kauai, north-facing shores will see five to seven feet tonight, building to an impressive nine to twelve feet Sunday morning, then ramping up to ten to fourteen feet by afternoon. East-facing shores will stay in the four to six foot range tonight and Sunday morning, then settle at six to eight feet. West and south-facing shores will remain small throughout, with two to four feet and two to four feet respectively.

Oahu is looking similar with north-facing shores climbing from five to seven feet tonight to ten to fourteen feet by Sunday afternoon. East-facing breaks will hold steady at four to six feet tonight and six to eight feet Sunday. West-facing shores stay small at two to four feet, while south-facing breaks round out at two to four feet. The UV index on Oahu Sunday will be very high, so get that sunscreen on.

Maui adds a twist with west-facing shores showing some real potential. After one to three feet tonight, west-facing breaks will jump to four to six feet Sunday morning and build to six to eight feet by afternoon. That's some genuine progression worth watching. North-facing shores follow the usual pattern, five to seven feet tonight to ten to fourteen feet Sunday, while east-facing stays consistent at four to six feet tonight and six to eight feet Sunday.

The Big Island's windward and southeast shores will see excellent growth on north-facing breaks, jumping from two to four feet tonight to a solid ten to fourteen feet by Sunday afternoon. East-facing shores maintain their four to six feet tonight and six to eight feet Sunday. The leeward side stays quieter with west and south-facing shores remaining small.

Weather-wise, expect mostly cloudy conditions tonight with isolated showers and temperatures in the mid to upper sixties. Northeast winds will range from fifteen to twenty miles per hour across most islands. Sunday turns mostly sunny to partly sunny with similar wind patterns continuing. Temperatures will climb to the mid-seventies on most islands, with the Big Island leeward reaching near eighty.

Along south-facing shores across all islands, small background pulses will keep things above flat conditions through early next week, so there's something for everyone. West-facing shores remain mainly small throughout the week.

Remember, rip currents will be present in and near the surf zone, with their strength increasing as surf size increases. Always exercise caution and try to swim near a lifeguard.

This has been your Hawaii Surf Forecast. Stay safe out there and enjoy the water.
