Swell Summary
A long period, large northwest swell will continue moving through the islands tonight through Friday night. This swell is producing High Surf Warning level surf across north and west facing shores of the smaller islands this afternoon, and warning-level surf is expected through Friday. Additionally, surf is expected to reach advisory levels along the west facing shores of the Big Island tonight through Friday as well. This large 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. Another long period northwest swell reinforcement may push surf up to advisory levels Wednesday of next week.
South shore surf will remain tiny 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 also remain small through early next week.
