Swell Summary
A large long period north-northwest swell will build through the islands tonight, peak Sunday and slowly decline through Monday. A series of extra large north-northwest swells in the High Surf Warning level surf will impact the islands Monday night into Tuesday, and another reinforcement Thursday into Friday. These swell sources continue their eastward track, can expect a mix of northwest and north swell components through the week which will keep surf elevated along north and west facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will steadily lower through early next week as the trades ease locally and upstream of the islands. Surf along south facing shores will trend down over the weekend as a background south-southwest (190 deg) swell moves out. A small, medium period south-southwest swell is possible Tuesday night through Wednesday.
