Swell Summary
An active week is due as a series of northwest swells move through. The current northwest swell will maintain advisory level surf through the night across exposed north and west shores from Kauai to Maui, followed by a gradual decline on Friday. A significant long period northwest swell will rapidly build through the day on Saturday, and surf should peak well above High Surf Warning thresholds on most islands Saturday night and Sunday. After a brief decline on Monday, additional pulses of northwest swell are expected to push surf back to warning levels late Monday into next Thursday.
Surf along south and east facing shores will remain small through the week.
