KAUAI SURF REPORT

North Facing:  5-7 AM  |  5-7 PM
West Facing:  3-5 AM  |  3-5 PM
South Facing:  1-3 AM  |  1-3 PM
East Facing:  6-8 AM  |  6-8 PM

Surf heights in feet from trough to crest. Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach.

The current north-northwest swell will progressively decline through the next couple of days. A slightly smaller, medium- period north-northwest (330 degree) swell will arrive around mid-week, with a reinforcing longer- period swell on its heels to close out the week. Rough surf will continue along east facing shores through the coming week in response to the persistent strong trade fetch over and upstream of the islands. East shore surf could become more elevated and rough around the middle of the week as trades strengthen further. Surf along south-facing shores will remain small, aside from the possibility of some wrap from the easterly wind waves making it into the more eastern-facing southern exposures.

Lane closures scheduled for Kokee Road March 12-14

Lane closures are scheduled for Kokee Road from March 12-14, 2025, 8:30 a.m to 3:30 p.m., for guardrail repairs, reports the Department of Public Works. The public is asked to make necessary arrangements during this time, including allowing extra time to get to destinations in the area.

Single-Lane Closures Past Hanalei Announced

Plan a little extra time for your North Shore travel past Hanalei starting January 16th, 2025 due to slope stabilization work above Kuhio Highway. The single-lane closures will affect the hairpin turn past Waikoko Beach, shortly after leaving Hanalei when heading towards Haena. (This turn also includes roadside parking for the east end of Lumahai Beach.) Traffic in both directions will be maintained by alternating traffic flow through the open lane. Flaggers will be at the site to direct the alternating traffic during working hours. When the 24-hour lane closure is in effect, a traffic signal will be placed to guide alternating traffic, reports the Hawaii Department of Transportation. The closures are as follows:

January 21-August 31: 24 hours a day
