Swell Summary
Surf along north and west-facing shores continues to sharply increase this afternoon as a north-northwest swell builds down the island chain. This swell, which is running well above guidance, will peak tonight into Tuesday, but will be followed by another northwest reinforcement by Tuesday afternoon. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai, and north facing shores of Maui through Tuesday night. A slight downward trend is expected during the second half of the week, with surf holding steady near or slightly below seasonal averages by Friday into the weekend.
Surf along south-facing shores will gradually subside on Tuesday. Seasonal conditions are expected to return midweek, with smaller southeast and south-southwest swells contributing to surf conditions Surf along east-facing shores will rise through the week as trade winds strengthen locally and expand upstream across the eastern Pacific.
