Swell Summary
A moderate, long-period northwest swell will peak this evening for Kauai and Oahu and continue to build this evening and peak overnight for Maui and the Big Island. Elevated surf along north and west facing beaches will gradually decline Friday into the weekend as the swell fades.
A small, long-period south swell should provide a small bump in south shore surf through the weekend. Another small, long-period south swell is possible mid-next week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain below normal during the next several days due to the lack of strong trades over and upstream of the islands. East shore surf will gradually increase this weekend into early next week as trades make a slow return.
