Swell Summary

Surf will hold relatively steady along east facing shores through Thursday then gradually decrease Friday into the weekend.

Surf along north and west facing shores will remain well below seasonal levels through the weekend, and surf along south facing shores will remain small. Select exposures along north and south facing shores will continue to see some trade wind swell.

Forerunners from a large, long-period north to north-northeast swell are forecast to arrive Sunday night, then rapidly build to near warning levels along north facing shores Monday through Tuesday. Also due to the northerly direction, elevated surf heights are expected along west Maui and west Big Island near Kua Bay. Surf heights are expected to reach advisory threshold for west Big Island on Monday and could reach advisory threshold for west Maui as well.
