# Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii - Sunday Evening

Hello and welcome to tonight's surf zone forecast for the Hawaiian Islands. A powerful gale low pressure system is currently directing a moderate to large short period swell from the north northeast, and this swell is expected to peak tonight, bringing significant surf to our north facing shores.

Based on observations from NDBC Buoy 51000, surf along north facing beaches will reach high surf advisory thresholds tonight. These advisories are in effect for all north facing shores across the islands, select exposed east facing shorelines, and the west side of Maui. Expect these conditions to gradually decline throughout the week as the swell slowly weakens.

Let's break down what's happening island by island, starting with Kauai. North facing shores will see impressive surf ranging from twelve to sixteen feet tonight, maintaining ten to fifteen feet into Monday. East facing shores will experience smaller six to eight foot waves, while west and south facing beaches remain modest with just four to seven feet and two to four feet respectively. Expect mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers, and northeast winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour. Temperatures will dip to the mid sixties tonight before warming to the upper seventies Monday afternoon.

Moving to Oahu, north facing shores are experiencing a similar story with ten to fifteen foot surf developing tonight and persisting through Monday. East facing beaches will pick up six to eight foot waves while west and south shores stay smaller. Weather conditions look slightly better for Oahu with partly cloudy skies tonight and mostly sunny conditions expected Monday. Northeast winds will be a bit stronger here at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. High temperatures reach the mid seventies with a very high UV index, so sunscreen is essential if you're heading out.

Maui's north facing shores are showing some of the largest potential tonight with twelve to sixteen foot surf, even maintaining those heights into Monday before dropping slightly to ten to fifteen feet by Monday evening. The west side is included in the high surf advisory. East facing shores will see six to eight foot waves while the calmer south and west facing beaches offer smaller waves. Expect mostly sunny conditions Monday with scattered showers, northeast winds around fifteen miles per hour, and temperatures in the mid seventies.

The Big Island's windward and southeast shores are under the high surf advisory for north facing beaches, which will see ten to fifteen foot surf tonight and Monday. East facing shores will pick up six to eight foot waves. The leeward side experiences much calmer conditions with west facing shores offering four to seven foot waves and south shores remaining small at two to four feet. Conditions there look mostly sunny Monday with light south winds and temperatures reaching the lower eighties.

Throughout the eastern shores, expect consistent choppy conditions from steady trade winds. Southern shores will benefit from a small to medium period swell providing modest surf for the next few days. Western shores remain generally calm. Rip currents will be present and strengthening with the larger surf, so swimmers are urged to exercise caution and stay near lifeguards.
