A recent moderate size, medium period north-northwest (320 degree) swell that prompted this weekend's advisory level surf along many north and west-facing shores will continue to fall through Tuesday. Swell heights have declined enough to cancel this morning's High Surf Advisory (HSA). The next moderate size, medium period northwest (320 degree) swell originating from vicinity gales in association with the kona low will move in Wednesday and lift higher sets to slightly over head high, but stay well under HSA heights, through Friday. The Small Craft Advisory (SCA) is still in effect for the typically windier waters surrounding Maui County and Big Island. Near coastal seas have fallen below 10 feet but will still remain somewhat elevated due to the passage of a series of small north and slightly larger northwest swell. Surf along south-facing shores will remain small with only background south southwest swell expected through the week. East-facing shore chop will hold steady or steadily lower into the week due to disrupted trade flow caused by the area of low pressure to the west.
