Swell Summary
High Surf Warning is in effect for exposed north and west facing shores with surf levels peaking late tonight and Sunday morning. Due to the significant westerly component of this swell, shadowing could produce varying surf heights on Oahu and Maui County, and west facing shores of the Big Island. Impacts may include overwash onto vulnerable coastal roadways and beaches. This swell will decline Sunday night and Monday, followed by a smaller pulse of west- northwest swell Tuesday and Wednesday. Surf along south and east shores will remain small over the next week.
