Swell Summary
A series of large west to west-northwest (280-310 deg) swells will persist through the week. The first and largest peaked over the local waters early this afternoon. Recent swell observations at the nearshore CDIP buoys started to slowly come down, but are not quite dropping as quickly as predicted. Therefore, will extend the High Surf Warning for most north and west facing shores (and High Surf Advisory for west facing shores of Lanai) through tonight. The warnings will likely ease to advisory levels for exposed beaches by Monday morning, but will near warning levels once again as the next swell arrives Tuesday. The westerly component will allow some wrap into southern exposures and, combined with increasing south-southwest winds, support elevated surf for south facing shores.
