A west-northwest swell is forecast to fill in through the afternoon and evening with an anticipated mid to late morning arrival at the far northwest buoys. A similar swell will be arriving Wednesday night through Thursday. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect for double to near triple overhead surf along the north-facing shores of Niihau, Kauai and Oahu, at least double overhead surf along the north-facing shores of Molokai, Maui and the west-facing shores of Oahu. Due to the more westerly component to this swell, the west-facing shores of Molokai, Lanai and Big Island will also experience head high to near double overhead HSA-threshold surf heights. This more westerly swell component will allow for some wrap into southwest and south-facing shores and, along with higher wind waves brought on by stronger south to southwest winds, increase surf along more southern exposures.
