Swell Summary
Surf along north and west-facing shores will peak this evening as a northwest reinforcement moves through the islands. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai, and north facing shores of Maui through tonight. However, this swell is expected to drop during the overnight through early morning hours, and surf is expected to fall below advisory criteria by early Wednesday. North and west shore surf will then gradually decline through the end of the week.
Surf along south-facing shores will return to seasonal normals Wednesday as a small south swell diminishes. A small southeast bump in surf is possible on Wednesday for windward Big Island due to a small southeast reinforcement, but this will have little effect elsewhere. Surf along east-facing shores will rise through Thursday in response to the strong trade winds. Lower surf is expected for the weekend.
