Swell Summary

A series of gale force lows progressing across the north pacific will send multiple northwest and north swells towards the Hawaiian Islands. The current medium-period, northwest (330 degree) will gradually subside over the next thirty-six hours. The next northwest swell will fill in on Thursday, be comparatively short- period, and peak below High Surf critera. A longer period northwest swell is expected Friday and Saturday, and could reach advisory levels. A yet even larger swell is possible Sunday and Monday.

A weak front arriving later in the week will strengthen trade winds and cause an increase in short-period waves along east facing shores.
