Swell Summary
A 4 to 5 foot, NNW (350), medium period swell was noted on both Hanalei and Waimea nearshore buoys this afternoon and will continue to bring small to moderate surf to north facing shores tonight. This swell will slowly decrease through Thursday, with surf remaining well below advisory surf height thresholds. Surf along west facing shores should remain slightly elevated with wrap around north swell energy lingering into Thursday.
Surf heights along east shores will remain elevated and choppy tonight in response to short period trade wind swell over and upstream of the islands, but then then decline on Thursday as trades weaken. Expect tiny south shore surf through the end of the week due to small background swells.
