Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will steadily lower through tomorrow as a north-northwest swell eases and shifts out of the north. The High Surf Advisory for these shores was cancelled. Combined seas should hover just below Small Craft Advisory threshold tonight, then lower tomorrow into the weekend. Another north-northwest swell will build Sunday night and Monday, generating surf near advisory levels late Monday through Tuesday for exposed north and west facing shores of the smaller islands.
Surf along south facing shores will remain above average into the weekend as a new long-period, south-southwest swell arrives and peaks through tomorrow. Surf will ease through the weekend as this swell moves out. Surf will rise again early next week as overlapping long-period, south- southwest swells arrive. The first swell will slowly fill in Monday through Tuesday. Expect a second and larger swell Wednesday through the second half of next week.
Small surf along east facing shores will pick up tonight through tomorrow for Kauai and Oahu as a moderate, short-period northeast swell arrives. This will be a short-lived event with a quick drop off expected Saturday.
