Swell Summary
A small northwest swell is expected to arrive later today, and peak on Tuesday. A much larger northwest swell is forecast to arrive late Tuesday night, and peak from Wednesday night into Thursday. This will likely cause surf to reach the High Surf Warning criteria along most north and west facing shores, including the leeward Big Island, for an extended period of time. This extra-large northwest swell is forecast to gradually lower, and veer more northerly from Thursday through next weekend. Surf along east facing shores will continue to lower today, with minimal trade wind swell expected this week. Rough and choppy surf may increase along some south facing shorelines with a westerly exposure through Tuesday night due to the strengthening southwest to west winds associated with the second front. Otherwise, no significant long-period swell energy is expected along south facing shores this week.
