Swell Summary

The current medium-period northeast swell is expected to gradually lower from later today and tonight through Monday. This swell will maintain elevated surf along most exposed east facing shores today, especially the Big Island and Maui. A new large, medium-period northwest swell associated with a low pressure system, which is expected to develop northwest of Kauai from late tonight through Monday, is forecast to arrive early Tuesday morning. This swell will likely cause surf to be well above the High Surf Advisory thresholds along most north and west facing shores starting Tuesday. This swell will gradually lower from Wednesday through Thursday.
