A small west-northwest swell is forecast to show this weekend and will bring increasing surf to north and west facing shores.
A large northwest swell is expected to build late Sunday and peak on Monday, likely bringing warning level surf to north and west facing shores of most of the islands into Tuesday.
Another large northwest swell is due to arrive Wednesday night into Thursday/Friday next week.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
