Aloha Today — Your Daily Hawaii Briefing — Monday 2026-04-27
Aloha. Monday morning. Honu here, with Hoku. We're heading into a wet stretch—showers moving in today and holding through the week, but the leeward side stays mostly sunny if you know where to go.

About the show
Hosted by Hoku & Honu
Two voices, conversational. Hoku has the warmer take, Honu keeps things practical. They cover the morning's surf, weather across the islands, what's open, what's happening this week, and one feature story pulled from a recent post on the site.
What you get
- Live surf heights for the four main islands
- Plain-English weather summary from the NWS Honolulu forecast discussion
- Volcano + park status (closures, eruption updates)
- This week's events worth knowing about
- One feature story from the site, conversationally
Built fresh every morning
Every episode is generated from live data feeds (NWS, USGS, NOAA buoys, NPS, Ticketmaster) — not pre-recorded. If a forecast changes overnight, the next morning's episode reflects it. Episodes are served straight from our RSS feed with zero tracking and no podcast-app middleware.
