Notes:

Francois will take over maintaining a free and commercial-free page alive.


This forecast was updated intermittently Monday through Friday. It was provided as public outreach in support of safe recreation, ocean and weather science education, and professional ocean data collection.

Due to potentially rapid changes in ocean and weather conditions, check the latest advisories posted by the Honolulu National Weather Service . It is recommended that folks unfamiliar with Hawaiian waters choose guarded beaches and check with lifeguards who will kindly provide suggestions of where and when to safely enjoy your desired coastal activity.

Confused by swell directions? Thanks to Dave Kimball (SOEST/MARBEC) and Mike Parke (NOAA/NMFS) for these compass plots:
