Swell Summary
A small north-northeast swell will continue to decrease through the weekend as a building north-northwest swell moves into the coastal waters. The latest buoy observations northwest of the Hawaiian Islands have started to pickup on the long period forerunners and are approximately 1-2 ft higher than guidance. Expect this swell to continue building through the weekend with peak swell heights expected by Sunday morning. Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will likely reach advisory levels on Sunday. The northwest swell will gradually decrease on Monday, then hold through early next week. Another building northwest swell is expected to move into the coastal waters for the latter half of next week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough through tonight 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.
