Swell Summary

A weak front moving in from the northwest will enhance trade wind flow across the islands on Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly the remainder of the week.

Multiple north and northwest impulses associated with an active storm pattern over the northern Pacific are expected over the next several days. This, combined with strong northeast trade winds, will create rough conditions for most north- facing shores beginning tomorrow afternoon and continuing into the weekend.

Surf along east-facing shores will become rough as early as tomorrow morning. Short-period and choppy conditions will be dominant due to a combination of northerly swell and northeast wind-driven waves.
