Swell Summary
The current declining northwest (320 degrees) swell pushing through the islands continues to produce High Surf Advisory conditions today along north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, along north facing shores of Maui. Surf will likely decline below HSA thresholds by later this afternoon to evening. A fresh overlapping northwest (310 degrees) swell will slowly build into the Hawaii region today, surf heights from this swell peak at HSA levels from Friday through Saturday with elevated surf continuing through Sunday as yet another similar northwest swell arrives this weekend. A downward trend in surf heights along north and west facing shores will develop by early next week as this swell energy slowly declines.
