tomorrow
🌅6-10a
Small but orderly lines from the south-southwest with a little long-period NW wrap should show near Kahe & Nānākuli. Expect mostly waist-high surf with occasional chest-high sets at the better peaks, groomed by light easterly offshore winds. The falling tide may make the smaller waves feel more borderline later in the morning.

10a-2p
Still small overall, with the south pulse and wrapped NW energy holding around waist high, plus occasional chest-high sets. Conditions stay fairly smooth, but the late-morning negative low tide can pinch the lava shelf and reef ledges, making smaller waves look weaker and a little more shallow than the raw numbers suggest.

2-7p🌙
A modest afternoon pulse keeps small-to-fun surf in the zone, mainly waist to stomach high with a few chest-high sets at focal peaks. The tide fills back in through the afternoon, and winds trend from light to more easterly offshore, so conditions should tidy up nicely toward pau hana.

Monday
🌅6a-12p
Monday morning looks similar to a touch bigger, with a longer-period south swell adding more shape while leftover west-northwest wrap stays in the mix. Expect mostly waist to stomach-high surf with occasional shoulder-high sets at the standout peaks. Light easterly offshore winds should keep the faces fairly clean through the morning.

12-7p🌙
The new south pulse should be more noticeable through Monday afternoon, especially on the better sets, while mixed west-northwest energy adds extra lines. Look for stomach-high surf with occasional shoulder-high sets. Midday ESE texture may linger for a while, then ease some later as the tide fills back in toward evening.

Moderate trades ease through the weekend, which keeps Kahe & Nānākuli mostly under light easterly offshore winds while a small south pulse mixes with weak wrapped NW energy. By Monday, a longer-period south swell becomes more noticeable, though the area still looks mixed rather than solid. Overall, it is a fairly clean small-to-mid-sized setup for the West Side.
Looking ahead: Tuesday into Wednesday should bring more south swell with a moderate WNW pulse joining the mix, but conditions look less tidy as winds veer SE to S and surface texture builds. Weather also turns more unsettled by midweek, with a real chance of heavy rain, runoff, and even a few thunderstorms, so keep one eye on the sky, yeah.
