Please read our surf forecast summary given below prepared by Kanekoa Crabbe:

As of today (Tuesday, 6/23), the Kilo Nalu Buoy off the south shore of Oahu has 17 second forerunners indicating the beginning of the arrival of 4 consecutive swells arriving tomorrow (swell #1), wed 6/24 (2-3 ft). This first swell will intensify to mid-high levels on Friday 6/26 (2-4+ ft, swell #2) then to even higher levels on Saturday 6/27 (3-5+ ft, swell #3). The intensity experienced on Saturday will gradually subside sometime on Sunday, 6/28, to 3-4, occ. 5 ft and will be reinforced at the beginning of next week at similar levels (swell #4). Above average (15-25 mph) ENE tradewinds are forecasted throughout the entire period creating side-to-off shore surf conditions. Tidal differences expected to be present on both Saturday and Sunday are not as extreme as what we have experienced yesterday & today (3 ft+ difference to a under 2 ft difference forecasted for this weekend). A HIGH SURF ADVISORY for the South Facing shores of all Hawaiian islands will probably be posted on or before this Friday morning (6/26).
