Moderate choppy surf along east facing shores will remain on the small side through Thursday due to a surface ridge decreasing the fetch length of the trades upstream of the islands. A slight increasing trend in the trade wind swell and surf along all east facing shores will develop from Friday into the weekend.
A mix of south and southeast swells will keep small surf heights along exposed south shores into the first half of next week.
A small west-northwest swell, from tropical cyclone activity in the NW Pacific, may produce a minor bump in surf heights along some exposed north and west facing shores of Kauai and Oahu on Thursday and Friday. Otherwise fairly flat conditions are forecast into the first half of next week.
