Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will exceed warning levels today as the largest swell of the season builds down the island chain. The swell will begin out of the northwest (320-330 degrees), then shift out of the north northwest (340 degrees) through the day Thursday. As this northerly swell eases into the weekend, a new northwest swell begin to build, potentially nearing warning levels for exposed north and west facing shores by late Sunday. Surf along south facing shores will remain at seasonal levels through the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain small, except for areas exposed to northerly swells.
