Swell Summary
The current northwest (310-340) swell has rapidly declined through the day today, with current observations even a bit below model guidance. Surf along exposed north and west facing shores has declined as a result. The High Surf Advisory has been cancelled for the smaller islands and the High Surf Warning for west facing Big Island has been downgraded to a High Surf Advisory. This swell and associated surf will continue to decline into early next week. The next significant northwest swell is not expected until middle of next week at the earliest. Surf along south and east facing shores will remain small through the middle of next week.
