Swell Summary

A long-period northwest swell (310 degrees) is building across the islands and will peak just below advisory level heights late tonight into Monday, then decline Tuesday and Wednesday. A much larger north northwest swell will build overnight Wednesday night into Thanksgiving Day. The peak of this swell could reach warning levels. Areas exposed to north swells on other shorelines should see a significant rise in surf as the north northwest swell moves in. Surf along east facing shores will see a steady rise during the next few days as the trades strengthen. South facing shores will see minimal energy for the foreseeable future.
