Pat Caldwell Report

Surf Zone Forecast for Oahu
  • Hazards
    No high surf advisory or warnings.
  • Forecast
    Surf along north facing shores will be 6 to 8 feet through Sunday. Surf along west facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet through Sunday. Surf along east facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet today, lowering to 2 to 4 feet Sunday. Surf along south facing shores will remain 2 to 3 feet with locally higher sets through Sunday.
  • Outlook
    Outlook through Friday Mar 19: a new northwest swell will arrive Sunday night, peak well above the advisory threshold Monday, then slowly turn northerly and diminish through Wednesday night. A northwest swell arriving Thursday is likely to produce advisory-level surf by Thursday night. 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.

Threes

Queen'sThis famed spot appeared in Endless Summer, and was donned Threes because it was the third named spot in Waikiki.  The paddle out is long but that certainly doesn't stop anyone from joing the surfers convention.  On rare days you may spot schools of dolphins making this spot magical and memorable.

  • Crowds:  Whole lotta locals and  during a swell you'll be lucky to catch anything.
  • Difficulty:  Stay on the inside to catch smaller waves, but the outside may be a little quicker than your used too.  
  • Hazards: There is a good patch of reff at the end of the right and yes the number of people makes it inherently dangerous.
  • Break:  The right is what everyone goes for .  It's a clean wall that has sections, and if you make the drop you can shred.  The left is a little short lived but with all the people going for the other direction, it may just be more fun.
