Tropical Depression Fausto Weakens Near Hawaiian Islands
US · Published Jul 29, 2026
Tropical Depression Fausto, previously a tropical storm, has weakened significantly as it moves west-northwestward near the Hawaiian Islands.
According to the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Fausto has failed to sustain significant convection over the past 12 to 15 hours, with only a small area of pulsing convection observed in its northeast quadrant.

Impact & Risks

Although Fausto is weakening, it is still generating large surf and strong currents along exposed east-facing shores of the Hawaiian Islands. These conditions are expected to persist through Wednesday, posing a danger to swimmers and surfers. The strongest winds and heaviest rainfall are forecast to remain north of the islands, but residents and visitors are advised to monitor updates as the system passes. The remnant low of Fausto may still bring localized impacts, including rough seas and hazardous marine conditions.
