Swell Summary

Northwest swell will continue to move through island waters over the next several days, keeping surf elevated along exposed north and west facing shores. A High Surf Advisory has been posted for north and west facing shores of Niihau and Kauai through Friday due to a jump at the Hanalei buoy late this afternoon. A fresh pulse of medium-period north northwest swell may arrive on Saturday, with another pulse possible on Monday.

Elsewhere, a small south swell will continue to diminish through tomorrow. Another long-period south swell is expected by this weekend.
