Swell Summary
An extra-large northwest (310-320) swell continues to fill in across the island chain this afternoon. This swell is leading to rapid rises in surf along north and west facing shores, and is expected to peak this evening through tonight. A High Surf Warning (HSW) remains in effect, and has been extended through 6pm HST tomorrow. It has also expanded to include west facing shores of the Big Island. A gradual downward trend is expected this weekend, with surf potentially dipping below the advisory levels by the end of the weekend. Looking ahead into next week, a stretch of elevated north and west shore surf is expected, produced by overlapping northwest pulses ranging from large to potentially extra-large, particularly from Wednesday onward.
Surf along east facing shores will remain elevated through the weekend due to the lingering short-period north-northeast swell. Early next week, east facing shores look to remain small.
Surf along south facing shores will see an uptick heading into next week from a series of consecutive southwest pulses. This will result in small to moderate surf, peaking Monday and Tuesday.
