Swell Summary
The current moderate long period northwest swell has filled in across north and west facing shores just below High Surf Advisory levels. Surf will remain steady through the rest of the afternoon then slowly decline tonight. A slightly larger west- northwest to northwest swell reinforcement will arrive Sunday afternoon and likely result in High Surf Advisory level surf for exposed shores Sunday night into Monday. Due to the westerly component of this swell, surf heights may approach High Surf Advisory thresholds for west facing shores of the Big Island on Monday.
Short period easterly wind wave swell will remain elevated and choppy as the trade winds remain strong. As the trades strengthen even further later next week, we should see another uptick along east facing shores the second half of next week. South- facing shore surf will remain at background levels for the next several days.
