Swell Summary
A large, medium period WNW swell is producing advisory-level surf along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands and along west facing shores of the Big Island. Advisory-level surf will be maintained throughout the next twenty-four hours or so, but the swell will begin to gradually decline on Wednesday. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect for these shores through 6 PM HST Wednesday.
As the WNW swell eases Wednesday through Thursday, guidance shows a mix of a moderate N to NNE and WNW swell moving through. The NNE component will become the dominant swell Thursday night into the weekend. This swell will likely result in advisory-level surf for exposed coasts later this week.
Surf along E facing shores will remain small through Thursday but trend upward Friday into the weekend strong trade winds return. Rough and choppy surf along south facing shores will continue to trend down through midweek as winds weaken and become more variable.
