Swell Summary
A west-northwest swell is forecast to arrive Sunday and Monday, with surf building to advisory levels along exposed north and west facing shores Sunday night and Monday. The westerly component to the swell will likely bring advisory level surf to west facing shores of the Big Island as well. A reinforcing west-northwest swell is then forecast to build surf to warning levels along exposed north and west facing shores, including the Big Island, Tuesday. This swell is expected to slowly and steadily decline Wednesday through late next week. While the west-northwest swell declines, a moderate north swell is forecast to build Wednesday and hold through late next week.
Surf along east and south facing shores will remain small throughout the next several days, with the exception of areas exposed to the west wrap. Short-period choppy wind waves can also be expected through Tuesday.
