South shore surf quieted on Wednesday, after 2024’s highest surf so far earlier in the week led to more than 100 rescues and at least one hospital visit — for a 17-year-old bodyboarder who was pushed into the reef on Monday, suffering lacerations. But another south swell is expected to reach Oahu tonight, with a peak late Friday through Saturday, the National Weather Service predicted.

“It’s summer time and we are making a lot of rescues,” said Honolulu Ocean Safety in a social media post. “Be safe. Know your limits. Check-in with a lifeguard and call 911 as soon as you notice someone is in trouble in the ocean.”
