Swell Summary
The current large, long to medium period northwest (310-330 degree) swell peaked earlier today and will gradually decline through Wednesday, with surf heights expected to remain above advisory levels through Wednesday afternoon along exposed north and west facing shores. The High Surf Warning (HSW) for exposed north and west facing shores has been converted to a High Surf Advisory (HSA) this afternoon and is now in effect through Wednesday afternoon. The HSA for west facing shores of the Big Island has been cancelled.
Another extra large, long period northwest (310-330 degree) swell will build into the region by Thursday, likely producing another round of warning level surf along exposed north and west facing shores lasting through Friday, and lingering near advisory levels Saturday before another reinforcing northwest swell briefly boosts surf heights back to near warning levels on Sunday and Sunday night.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through most of this week due to shifting wind directions from the passing fronts. However, some east facing shores sensitive to northerly swells may experience an uptick in surf heights this weekend as the fading northwesterly swell becomes more northerly. No noteworthy swells are expected to impact the state from the south.
