Hawaii Weather: Scattered Showers and South Swell Expected This Week
US · Published Aug 4, 2026
Hawaii is experiencing a mix of weather patterns this week, with mostly dry conditions on the leeward side of the islands and some cloud buildup on the windward slopes.
Trade winds are weakening as a tropical system lingers west of the islands.

Impact & Risks

The weakening trade winds and scattered showers may lead to localized disruptions, particularly in windward and mountain areas of Maui. Rough and choppy conditions on east-facing shores could pose risks for swimmers and small watercraft early in the week. The south swell arriving this weekend may attract surfers but could also increase the risk of rip currents along the south shore.
