Swell Summary

The current west-northwest swell will continue to decline through Monday, with another round of extra-large surf due Tuesday. Surf along north and west facing shores will diminish to small heights by Monday morning, followed by an increase during the afternoon as forerunners of the next northwest swell arrive. The next northwest swell (310 to 325 degrees) will build rapidly Monday night and peak Tuesday and Wednesday as overlapping pulses pass through Hawaiian waters. Surf along most north and west facing shores will easily exceed High Surf Warning levels. The swell will decline Thursday and Friday, with surf falling below High Surf Advisory levels Thursday night. Another large swell is possible late Friday and Saturday.

Surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through much of the week, aside from a brief boost along south facing shores with the increase in southwest winds as the front approaches on Monday. An increase is possible along east shores next weekend.
