No high surf advisory or warnings.

Surf along north facing shores will be 4 to 8 feet through Tuesday. Surf along west facing shores will be 2 to 4 feet through Tuesday. Surf along east facing shores will be 2 to 3 feet through Tuesday. Surf along south facing shores will be less than 3 feet through Tuesday.

Outlook through Sunday Feb 14: surf is expected to rise significantly Tuesday night along the island's north and west shores. The surf is from a northwest swell generated by a large and powerful storm system far northwest of the Hawaiian islands. The surf is likely to reach warning level heights of 25 and 20 feet for the island's north and west shores respectively and persist through Thursday before lowering into advisory levels Friday. A reinforcing smaller northwest swell is expected to come in Saturday and maintain advisory level surf into the weekend. An out of season south swell is slated to arrive as early as Wednesday, peaking late Wednesday night and Thursday morning along the island's south facing shores. The surf has the potential of reaching the 8 foot high surf advisory threshold for the south facing shores. So there this surf to go around the middle and latter half of the work week. Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average height of the one third largest waves, in the zone of maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near any surf zone.
