The long period north to north- northwest (340-360 degree) swell will continue to subside into Thursday. A west- northwest (300-310 deg) swell will build today, on already elevated seas, and produce surf well above advisory levels across most north and west facing shores from Kauai to Maui, as well as west facing shores of the Big Island, through Thursday. For the upcoming weekend, a large, long period west- northwest (300 deg) swell will build on Saturday and produce surf around warning levels Saturday night into Sunday.
Along east facing shores, surf will remain small due to the lack of trades locally and upstream of the state. Areas exposed to the the north swell wrap will trend down today as the north swell fades. Surf along south facing shores will also trend down through the rest of the week as southwesterly wind waves and a small, long period south swell fades.
