Detailed Forecast

Synopsis

Breezy trade winds will persist through the weekend and at least the first half of next week, pushing showers over mostly windward and mauka location.

Update

No updates made. Previous forecast remains on track.

Prev discussion

Issued at 314 PM HST Fri Jun 5 2026
A 1030 mb high far north of the islands will remain in place through the first half of next week, bringing stable breezy trade winds and showers to mainly windward and mountain areas. Showers will also favor the night time and early morning hours, and minor fluctuations in coverage are expected based on periodic areas of moisture moving through with the trades.
By the later half of next week, a front passing by far to the north of the islands could push the surface high pressure east, decreasing trade wind speeds.

Aviation

Moderate to breezy trades through the weekend. Low cigs and SHRA should primarily imapct windward and mauka locations with some limited spillover to a few leeard areas. MVFR conds possible in SHRA, otherwise VFR prevails.
AIRMET Sierra is in effect for mtn obsc across windward Oahu and the Big Island.
AIRMET Tango is in effect for mod turb downwind of terrain due to breezy trade winds.

Marine

Issued at 314 PM HST Fri Jun 5 2026
Fresh to strong easterly trades will prevail as high pressure remains far northeast of the islands through the weekend and beyond. Most of the high resolution guidance shows a slight uptick in wind speeds tonight through Saturday night as the high to the far northeast edges closer to the state. As a result, the Small Craft Advisory (SCA) has been expanded to include all Hawaiian coastal waters and is in effect through Saturday night. Trade winds may ease slightly early next week as high pressure once again shifts away to the northeast.
The south-southwest swell that produced advisory-level surf along south-facing shores for the past few days will gradually ease into this weekend. Nearshore buoys are reporting this swell to still be near 3 feet, 14 seconds this afternoon, but offshore buoy 51002 has dropped through the day, hinting at the drop to follow along south-facing shores through the weekend. A fresh, long- period south swell is expected to arrive late Sunday and peak on Monday. The source of this new swell is a storm-force low that passed southeast of New Zealand last weekend, producing a large swath of 50 knot winds and 30 to 45 foot seas, with the bulk of its energy aimed east of Hawaii. However, a fraction of this long- period energy will reach our south- and west-facing shores late Sunday into Monday, with a slightly larger error bar in regards to its size. Most likely it will be a small to moderate sized swell that is expected to bring below advisory-level surf. This swell will gradually fade into midweek.
Along north-facing shores, a small, medium-period north swell peaked early this morning and will continue to fade over the weekend. A tiny west-northwest swell is possible early next week. Surf along east-facing shores will remain choppy and near or slightly above average this weekend into early next week.
