Swell Summary
A series of North Pacific swells are due this week, likely leading to the first High Surf Warning event of the season. An approaching northwest swell will lead to above October average north shore surf later tonight into Monday. A storm low in the West Pacific will send a large northwest swell toward the islands early next week. This long- period northwest swell will build rapidly Monday night and Tuesday, and will likely produce High Surf Warning conditions for north and west facing shores from Kauai to Maui late Tuesday and Wednesday.
Along south facing shores, a series of south-southwest swells will keep surf around October average through much of the week. Due to the absence of significant upwind trades, minimal surf is due on east facing shores through at least Thursday.
