Swell Summary
A High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect through Tuesday for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai and north facing shores of Maui. The swell is expected to peak early Tuesday morning before slowly declining through midweek.
An even larger, long- period northwest swell from a strong West Pacific storm is expected to arrive Friday night. This swell complex may bring High Surf Warning (HSW) level conditions to exposed north and west facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will hold relatively steady through tonight then gradually decline through the end of the week.
South shore surf will remain very small for the next few days. Towards the end of the week, an out of season long-period south swell may build in and bring a sizable boost to south shore surf.
