Swell Summary
The first large northwest swell of the season is expected to produce warning level surf along north and west facing shores Tuesday into Wednesday. Surf should rapildy rise throughout the day Tuesday and likely peak Tuesday evening through Wednesday. As this swell declines late Wednesday through rest of the week, the swell direction will veer more northerly Thursday into Friday. For the Big Island much of this swell will be blocked by the smaller islands, however, surf may rise to advisory levels along west facing shores Tuesday through Wednesday.
Along south facing shores, a series of south-southwest swells will keep surf well above the October average through much of the work week. The current south-southwest swell will be reinforced by a slightly larger south-southwest swell Wednesday into Thursday. East shore surf will generally remain small during the next 7 days, but surf breaks exposed to wrap from the northwest or the south should see larger surf.
