Swell Summary
A large, medium period northwest swell is slowly declining, but will continue to produce High Surf Advisory (HSA) level surf for exposed north and west facing shores this evening and tonight. Surf heights are expected to fall below HSA levels for most shores by early Thursday. The exception will be west facing shores of the Big Island, where the HSA remains in effect until 6 PM HST Thursday.
The current northwest swell will ease through Thursday, but guidance shows a small north swell and building moderate to large north- northeast swell will move through the region over the next few days. The north-northeast component will become the dominant swell beginning Thursday night into the weekend, likely resulting in advisory level surf along north facing shores, but surf could reach warning levels along exposed east facing shores by Friday.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through Thursday due to the lack of trade wind flow. Rapidly building surf is forecast along east facing shores from Thursday night into the weekend as the north-northeast swell builds and strong trades return. South shore surf will remain small through early next week.
