Swell Summary
A long period, moderate northwest swell moving through the islands elevated surf along exposed north and west facing shores that peaked below High Surf Advisory levels this afternoon. This swell will decline tonight into Wednesday, with surf trending down over the next 24 hours. However, a more significant northwest to north- northwest swell is expected to move into the islands late Wednesday night through the second half of the week. Guidance shows a large area of gale- to storm- force winds focused towards Hawaii within the 310-340 degree directional bands lasting through Wednesday as the system moves eastward. Surf heights will likely exceed warning levels during the peak of this event from late Thursday through Friday, with swell heights decreasing through the weekend. Another overlapping moderate long period northwest swell will build in this weekend, possibly peaking at low end HSA thresholds by Sunday.
Tiny to small surf will persist along east and south facing shores through Wednesday. A small, long period south-southwest swell will begin moving into the region on Sunday, providing a small increase in surf along south facing shores.
