Hawaii Surf Forecast June 12-13 2026: Small South Swell Friday, Large Swell Building Saturday Into Monday

About this episode

The episode provides a detailed surf forecast for Hawaii from June 12-13, 2026, highlighting swell conditions and expectations for various shores.

Good morning, this is your Hawaii surf forecast for Friday, June 12th through Saturday, June 13th, twenty twenty-six. We're looking at small pulses of southerly swell bringing slightly below average conditions to south facing shores heading into Saturday. But here's where it gets interesting. Surf is set to trend up Saturday afternoon as the forerunners from a massive long-period swell originating southeast of New Zealand start arriving. We're expecting this swell to peak Sunday into Monday, approaching warning levels though most likely staying at advisory levels. South shore breaks are going to stay elevated throughout much of next week thanks to the slow decline of this large south swell and a series of overlapping southerly pulses. North and west facing shores are pretty quiet right now with tiny to flat conditions. However, early next week could bring a small bump in surf as a northwest swell and a smaller north swell move in. Meanwhile, east facing shores are dealing with weaker than average trade winds, keeping conditions below average through the weekend and into early next week. Looking at the specific islands, conditions are fairly consistent across Kauai and Oahu…
