Swell Summary

A moderate, short-medium period, north-northwest to north swell will arrive this evening and will produce elevated surf along north facing shores through Sunday. We are expecting a little bit more energy to fill in tonight, which should translate to near borderline advisory level surf along north facing shores for late tonight into Sunday morning.

A larger moderate period north to north- northeast (010-030 degree) swell will fill in Sunday night into Monday which should exceed advisory thresholds along north and east facing shores. Also due to the northerly direction areas such as west Maui will also see elevated surf as well as some of the exposed areas of west Big Island near Kua Bay. Another reinforcing northeast swell is expected towards the middle of next week, as well as a smaller long-period northwest swell.

A small, long period, south-southwest swell will keep surf heights near seasonal averages along south facing shores through Sunday. A pair of south to south-southwest swells should bring above average surf throughout the first half of next week.
