Swell Summary

A large medium period swell from the north-northeast direction (010-030 degrees) will move into Hawaiian waters today. North facing shores will continue to see warning level surf lasting through Saturday. High Surf Warnings (HSW) for north facing shores will likely be dropped into the High Surf Advisory range from Saturday night to Sunday. North swell energy will slowly subside into the first half of next week with surf height trends remaining elevated along north and west facing shores due to the arrival of a medium size long period northwest swell that will peak on Tuesday.

A shift in swell direction will lead to lower surf heights along west facing shores today, the current High Surf Advisory was cancelled for all west facing shores, except west facing shores of the Big Island. However, another small swell from the northwest direction (290-310 degrees) will also arrive on Sunday giving a slight boost to west facing shores of Kauai through Wednesday.
