Swell Summary
The recent west to northwest swell will maintain somewhat elevated surf along many north and west-facing shores through today as it fades. A large, long-period northwest swell is scheduled to arrive late tonight into early Wednesday with surf peaking Wednesday night, then slowly diminishing Christmas Day into the weekend. This will result in rapidly rising surf on Wednesday and a multi- day High Surf Advisory (HSA) for exposed north and west facing shorelines. The more westerly direction to this swell could potentially lift surf near advisory level along the southern Kona Coast, as well.
An out-of-season south swell will build in over the next couple of days, with max surf heights potentially reaching advisory level along south-facing shores Wednesday. As trades become quite strong going into the holiday weekend, east-facing shore rough conditions will likely require an HSA.
