Swell Summary
Primary swells today are a moderate-sized relatively long-period northwest swell, a short- to medium-period northeast swell generated by the nearby kona low (with this fetch primarily aimed at Kauai and Oahu), and a diminishing short-period trade wind swell.
The northeast swell will diminish fairly rapidly this afternoon as the kona low continues to move away. The northwest swell will peak below advisory levels today, then diminish thereafter, with a small long-period west-northwest swell expected over the weekend. Building seas and surf along windward shores will likely prompt a High Surf Advisory for east facing shores of nearly all islands on Friday. Surf along exposed east facing shores may peak near High Surf Warning levels of 15 feet over the weekend. No other significant swells are expected.
