Swell Summary
The next extra large, long period, northwest (320-340) swell will begin to fill in tonight, peak Thursday afternoon, then slowly fade through Friday. A High Surf Warning will go effect into from midnight tonight through Friday for exposed north and west facing shores. To a lesser extent, north facing shores of windward Big Island and west facing shores of leeward Big Island will be exposed to the incoming swell. Surf will continue to lower through Saturday night before the next large northwest swell arrives on Sunday.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through Friday due to shifting wind directions from the passing front. However, some east facing shores sensitive to northerly swells may experience a slight uptick in surf heights early this weekend as the fading northwesterly swell becomes more northerly. No noteworthy swells are expected for the next few days for south facing shores.
