Swell Summary
A small north-northeast swell will lower into Friday morning. An upward trend is expected starting Friday due to a storm force low centered over the western Bering Sea that showed a large swath of storm-force winds aimed at Hawaii within the 310-330 degree directional bands. Expect small, long period forerunners to arrive by Friday evening from the north-northwest, then build through the weekend with peak surf heights arriving by Sunday. Surf heights look to approach advisory levels for exposed north and west facing shores on Sunday.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough through Friday due to the strong trades locally and upstream across the eastern Pacific. A slight downward trend is expected this weekend.
Surf along south-facing shores will remain small, with mainly a mix of short period southeast and background long period south swell energy.
