Swell Summary
Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will rapidly build overnight, peak Thursday afternoon through Friday, then slowly ease over the weekend as a significant west-northwest (290 to 315 degrees) swell builds down the island chain. The High Surf Warning has been issued for exposed north and west facing shores of the smaller islands this evening, but will need to be expanded with at least an advisory for the west facing shores of the Big Island Thursday afternoon. This swell will slowly lower over the weekend and into early next week. An upward trend is possible Monday through midweek, as a couple of smaller northwest swells arrive. Small surf is expected for south and east facing shores. The exception could be for southerly facing shores exposed to more westerly swells, which could see a rise through the day Thursday.
