Swell Summary
A medium-period northwest (310-320 degrees) swell will gradually build through tonight, producing small to moderate surf along exposed north and west facing shores from late tonight into Saturday. A moderate, long-period north-northwest (320-330 degrees) swell expected Saturday will maintain moderate surf along exposed north and west facing shores from this weekend into early next week. A much larger, long-period northwest swell will arrive next Tuesday. This swell may cause surf to reach High Surf Warning criteria along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands and High Surf Advisory criteria along west facing shores of the Big Island Tuesday night.
Modest surf will persist along south facing shores for the rest of the week due to a series of medium-to long-period south to south-southwest (190-200 degrees) swells moving through the area. A long-period south-southwest (200-210 degrees) swell will arrive Monday, resulting in above seasonal average surf along south facing shores early next week. Weakening trade winds will result in diminishing surf along east facing shores during the next couple of days, with nearly flat conditions possible along most east facing shores by late this weekend.
