WHEN.SURF FORECAST Kahe & Nānākuli

Small, highly filtered south swell should leave mostly knee-high surf, with infrequent thigh-high pulses near the better peaks. Light NNE wind is favorable but a little short-period texture remains. The 0.0 ft morning low tide can make the shallow shelf and shorebreak more abrupt, so expectations should stay low.

Knee-high surf remains the main story, with occasional thigh-high south-swell pulses but long waits between them. North winds stay light through much of the period, though they begin increasing later in the afternoon. The rising tide will soften the already small surf around Kahe and Nānākuli.

Small knee-high surf continues, with isolated thigh-high sets possible but not much dependable shape. NNE wind strengthens during the afternoon, adding texture despite its generally offshore angle. A high tide near mid-afternoon further reduces the small-break potential. Mostly cloudy skies and a passing shower remain possible.

There may be a modest uptick to knee-high surf with occasional thigh-high sets as the south energy inches up, but its angle and period remain unfavorable for this coast. Light WNW wind leaves a little texture. The near-zero morning low tide raises shallow-water and shorebreak concerns for the small surf.

An occasional waist-high pulse is possible as a small 20-second west component shows up, though most surf should remain knee to thigh high and quite inconsistent. Numerous afternoon showers may reduce visibility and make for unsettled conditions. The high tide around 4:50 PM will soften the small sets.

A new, very long-period southwest trickle may produce occasional waist-high sets, while most surf stays thigh-high or smaller. Light ESE wind is favorable, but mixed short-period energy keeps the surface from fully glassing off. The late-morning low tide can make the small surf especially shallow and uneven.

The southwest pulse strengthens a little, bringing more frequent thigh-high surf and occasional waist-to-stomach-high sets at favored peaks. Easterly wind should groom the surface, especially before the late-day breeze firms up. Even so, the swell remains small and inconsistent, with the rising tide softening afternoon shape.
