Swell Summary
The moderate, medium period northwest (330 degree) swell has declined below low advisory, thus the High Surf Advisory (HSA) for north and west- facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, and Oahu has been cancelled. A moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) is expected to fill in Thursday afternoon in tandem with a large, medium period north- northwest swell (350 degrees) generated by a deepening gale force low north of the state. The combined swells will elevate surf along north and west facing shores to high- end advisory or low- end warning levels Thursday night through Friday. The swell direction will shift more northerly (350-010 degree) direction late Friday as the fetch area from the gale low drifts slowly eastward. Surf along west facing shores should drop below advisory thresholds Saturday but north facing shores should remain in the HSA through Saturday. Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the week with the exception of some areas exposed to north swell wrap. Surf will remain small for south facing shores.
