12-3p
Small but still playful south shore surf, mostly thigh to waist with a few stomach-high sets at better peaks. Midday high tide will mute weaker waves, and the easterly trade texture keeps it from going glassy. A few longer-period lines start to show later in the block, so shape stays decent.

3-8p🌙
Still on the small side overall, but a slow uptick in longer-period south energy should make the evening feel a notch more alive. Expect waist-high surf with occasional stomach-high sets, textured trade surface, and improving rideability as the tide drains toward the late low. Nice little pau hana look.

tomorrow
🌅5-10a
Dawn to mid-morning should be cleaner, with light and at times variable winds as the first long-period forerunners fill in. Common waves look chest-high with lully shoulder to near head-high sets at standout reefs. The early minus tide helps smaller lines stand up, but shallow spots get extra touchy.

- 175° 0.7ft 11s
10a-2p
The swell keeps building through late morning into early afternoon, with shoulder-high surf becoming more common and occasional overhead sets at the better reefs. Winds stay fairly light for June, so conditions remain clean. Rising tide through the window will soften some sections even as the underlying energy trends upward.
- Typical waves:shoulder

2-8p🌙
Solid long-period south swell fills in during the afternoon and evening, bringing shoulder to head-high surf with occasional overhead sets and better consistency than the morning. East-northeast trades stay favorable enough for clean faces. High tide early in the window may fatten some reefs before shape sharpens again later.
- Typical waves:head

Sunday
🌅5a-12p
Strong south swell is in for Sunday morning, with overhead surf at many exposed reefs and well-overhead sets at the standout zones. Fresh enough northeast trades should keep it clean. The morning minus tide adds punch and more critical sections, so shallow reef hazards run higher than usual.
- Typical waves:overhead
- Sets:well-overhead, consistent

12-8p🌙
Powerful south swell holds through Sunday afternoon, with solid overhead surf and occasional well-overhead sets, especially where the longer lines focus best. Trades remain clean enough, but the very high tide around midafternoon will slow some reefs before the tide drops later. Still plenty of juice, brah.

A weak ridge north of the islands is keeping trades on the gentle side through Saturday, so South Shore conditions stay fairly clean with only limited shower chances. At the same time, a long-period south swell from a fetch southeast of New Zealand builds in, moving from fun but modest surf today to solid, powerful surf by Sunday. Peak monthly tides line up with that swell, so wave runup and extra water over the reef will be more noticeable late weekend into early next week.
Outlook: Monday into Tuesday should stay elevated for the South Shore as the big swell eases only slowly and overlapping southern pulses keep surf above the usual June level. Moderate easterly trades look set to return, favoring mostly clean to lightly textured conditions, while the more typical shower focus stays mainly away from the South Shore.
