Swell Summary
The current west-northwest swell has brought solid surf to north and west facing shores today and is expected to slowly decline tonight to near or just below High Surf Advisory on Wednesday. Because of the westerly direction, Oahu and north facing shores may see some shadowing by Kauai. A series of large west to west- northwest (280-310 deg) swells is expected over the next 7 days. A brief decrease in wave heights through Wednesday night before potentially building back down the island chain Thursday. Another round of west- northwest swell is expected again Wednesday night through Thursday and again Sunday through Monday.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small due to the lack of easterly trade winds. Surf along south facing shores will remain small except for areas exposed to the west wrap.
