Swell Summary

A large northwest swell will reach the local waters tonight and quickly build on Thursday. Warning level surf is expected Thursday afternoon through Friday along the north and west facing shores of the smaller islands. Surf may reach advisory levels along the west facing shores of the Big Island Thursday night through Friday night. This swell will decline Friday night and Saturday. A reinforcing northwest swell should arrive Saturday night, keeping some moderate sized surf in place along north and west facing shores through early next week.

South facing shores should have small surf through Saturday. A south swell arriving Sunday should produce a slight increase in the surf that is expected to persist through Monday. East shore surf will trend down during the next couple days, then remain well below normal through early next week.
