Potential Cyclone Could Impact Hawaii with Rain and Swells
US · Published Aug 11, 2026
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a potential tropical cyclone approximately 1,100 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands.
Development of this system is expected by midweek, with the possibility of significant impacts on Hawaii's weather.

Impact & Risks

Residents and visitors in Hawaii should prepare for potential impacts, including enhanced rainfall, particularly over windward areas, and increased surf conditions. The largest south swell is expected midweek, which could pose risks to swimmers and surfers. If the tropical system moves closer to the islands, it could bring heavier rainfall, stronger winds, and hazardous marine conditions. Coastal areas may experience rough surf and possible flooding.
