Swell Summary
The current moderate sized long period northwest swell will gradually decline today. A new more significant northwest swell is expected to build late tonight and Thursday morning, then peak at warning levels Thursday afternoon through Friday along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands. Advisory level surf appears likely with this swell along west facing shores of the Big Island Thursday night through Friday night as well. This swell will decline Friday night and Saturday, with a reinforcing northwest swell building Saturday night, keeping some moderate sized surf in place along north and west facing shores through early next week.
Small surf will persist along south facing shores through Saturday, with a slight boost possible Sunday through early next week. East shore surf will trend down during the next couple days, then remain well below normal through early next week.
