Swell Summary
A combination of a large north northwest and north swells will bring warning level surf to north and west facing shores of the smaller islands through tonight, then decline Friday. A High Surf Warning is posted for tonight, and may need to be extended or switched to an advisory for Friday depending on how things play out. Additionally, a High Surf Advisory is in effect for north facing shores of the Big Island through the day Friday. The swells will slowly decline Saturday before another northwest swell arrives Sunday and will linger into the middle of next week. East shores exposed to northerly swells will begin to pick up through the upcoming weekend as the swell direction shifts out of the north to north- northeast. Surf along south facing shores will remain around the winter average through the next week.
