Swell Summary
A medium-period north-northwest (340-350 degree) swell is now beginning to lower, with reported surf heights now just below advisory thresholds. Therefore, the High Surf Advisory has been cancelled for north and west facing shores. This swell will continue to lower through the remainder of the week. A moderate, medium-period north-northeast (360-020 degree) swell will move into Hawaiian waters by Friday, possibly producing moderate surges in north facing harbors, as well as boosting surf along north facing shores to near advisory levels.
Choppy east shore surf will continue into the weekend as locally breezy trade winds persist. Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny to small through the forecast period.
