More Information | Rate Accuracy of This Model
Surfline's LOLA Swell Model is the ONLY global swell model that can separate individual swells to accurately calculate surf heights for any location on Earth. Every surf spot will only have a limited range of swells that produce good surf at that location. Compare the LOLA swell forecast with a spot's "Optimal Conditions" information and your own local knowledge to score the best surf.
The "Swell Rose" above is the only one of it's kind in the world. This shows the directions of all the incoming swells
(N=0° East=90° etc). If you mouse over the swell rose you can see detailed raw numbers of the underlying swells.
US Weather data comes from the WeatherUnderground array of personal weather stations. Data is near realtime. International weather comes from LOLAs high resolution models or WUG where possible.
Tides are generated using the most excellent Xtide system.

A local North Shore surfer in his 20¹s was pulled from the water after nearly drowning at Gas Chambers, a powerful reef break between Pupukea and Rocky Point. It happened during the first sizeable swell of the season on 9/30. Between combo NNW and NE swells, the waves were crossed up and dumpy. He was said to have been in stable but critical condition at an area hospital.
A very cool article in The Honolulu Advertiser helps us catch up on the life of the venerable Mark Cunningham. He waxes on his ongoing love affair with bodysurfing and the Banzai Pipeline. At age 53, Mark describes how he's surrounded by younger, faster, stronger riders, but is working hard on his fitness level and still showing the whippersnappers a thing or two in the water. Link: here.
Surf shops specializing in Stand Up Paddle boards and accessories are popping up like weeds all over Oahu. Expect a record number of ³standers² to be invading North Shore lineups this season. Last year there were some heated confrontations and at least one reported punch up, and SUP¹s have seemingly allowed increasing numbers of surf novices access to already cramped wave zones. Eh, share waves and no drop in ah you guys!!!
The first rounds of the 2008 Billabong Junior Pro In Memory of Ronnie Burns ran in slightly overhead, but bumpy surf at Sunset Beach on 10/1. Hawaii's top junior surfers competed for the top seven overall placings to qualify for the super competitive World Junior Pro to be held in Australia in January 2009. Speaking of Sunset Beach, the holding period for the annual Xcel Pro starts on October 26th, and the final rounds of the Junior Pro will finish up at the same time.
And is the water you’re surfing filled with poop and other fun things? The Hawaii Department of Health has a new research tool to help you find out. Viewer discretion is advised.
