WHEN.SURF FORECAST Oahu South Shore

Solid leftover south-southwest swell keeps most reefs in the stomach to chest zone, with better peaks nearing shoulder to head on sets. Trades are already side-offshore and gusty enough for texture, though early light still helps. The small morning high should keep shape fairly workable.

The swell trends down slowly but still offers waist to chest surf, with shoulder-high sets at the better-focused reefs. East-northeast trades strengthen through late morning, adding bump and some gust factor. The falling tide toward late morning may sharpen things without being especially shallow.

Afternoon surf settles a notch, mostly waist to stomach with chest-high sets still showing at magnets. Breezy trades keep the surface textured, and the short-period southeast energy adds some clutter. The tide is rising all afternoon, gradually softening the smaller corners as evening approaches.

Evening holds onto waist to stomach surf, with occasional chest-high sets, while the long-period energy continues to ease. Trades remain side-offshore and a bit gusty, so expect texture rather than clean faces. The high tide near sunset may make the smaller waves a little softer, yeah.

The south swell is smaller but still fun-size, around thigh to waist for common waves with stomach-high sets at better peaks. Early trades should be lighter than midday, though leftover short-period chop keeps some texture around. The small high tide mid-morning is not a major limiter.

Midday trends smaller, mainly thigh to waist with a few stomach-high sets where the remaining south energy focuses. East trades are breezy and gusty, keeping texture on the surface and mixing in short-period clutter. The midday low is modest, so reef exposure concerns stay limited.

Afternoon into dusk stays small but not flat, with thigh to waist surf and occasional stomach-high sets. Very long-period forerunners may appear, but they will be inconsistent. Trades ease a touch late, while the rising evening tide can soften the smaller sections.

Sunday morning looks small and lully, mostly thigh-high with occasional waist to stomach sets as early long-period south energy starts filtering in late. Trades are moderate side-offshore, keeping some texture but not wrecking it. Isolated showers are possible, mainly passing quickly if they reach town.

Long-period south swell should become more noticeable through the afternoon, lifting common waves into the thigh to waist range with stomach to chest sets at standout reefs. Expect waits between the better pulses. Trades remain moderate and textured, while the mid-afternoon low stays fairly mellow.
