Swell Summary

Overlapping extra large swell energy is expected to maintain warning level surf along north and west facing shores for the next several days, potentially through Thursday.

The current west-northwest (290-310 degree) swell that is moving through the islands will slightly ease tonight. This will allow surf heights along most north and west facing shores to briefly drop to borderline warning levels tonight through early Monday. However, the next significant northwest reinforcement will arrive on Monday. This will increase surf heights along north and west facing shores once again, building Monday afternoon through Tuesday. Beginning late Tuesday afternoon, the largest of the overlapping swells will quickly build, bringing significant and dangerous surf along north and west facing shores. This swell will peak Wednesday morning then begin declining, with surf heights likely falling back below warning levels late Thursday.
