Swell Summary

A northwest swell continues to fill in this morning and spread High Surf Advisory (HSA) conditions over north and west facing shores of most windward islands through this afternoon. The HSA was expanded this morning to include islands in Maui County. This swell will be reinforced by a small northerly swell later tonight into Thursday. The next small long period northwest swell arrives from Sunday into Monday.

Surf will remain small along east facing shores for the next couple of days. Surf along east facing shores will build from Friday through the weekend as strong trades return. South shore surf will remain small through tonight, by Thursday a small southern hemisphere swell will bring a small bump in south shore surf through Friday and then fade quickly on Saturday.
