Swell Summary
The current medium-period northwest (310-320 degrees) swell will produce moderate surf along most north and west facing shores through early Saturday. A new, moderate, long-period north- northwest (320-330 degrees) swell arriving Saturday will likely maintain moderate surf along exposed north and west facing shores into early next week.
Strong winds associated with Typhoon Bolaven in the west Pacific will generate a long- period northwest (320 degrees) swell poised to arrive in the local waters by Tuesday. This large swell may cause surf to reach the High Surf Warning criteria along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands starting late Tuesday. Surf may also be near the High Surf Advisory threshold along portions of the west facing shores of the Big Island starting Tuesday night.
Small surf will persist along south facing shores 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 likely arrive Monday, resulting in above seasonal average surf along south facing shores early next week. No significant surf expected for east facing shores.
