Swell Summary
A pair of large long-period and short-period northwest swells filled in during the day today and is now producing large disorganized surf along north facing shores. A High Surf Advisory is now in effect for north facing exposures through Friday. A storm-force low currently located roughly 700 miles north of Oahu is expected to send a large north to north-northwest swell Thursday into Friday. This swell should arrive Thursday afternoon into the evening and peak Thursday night then gradually decline on Friday. A series of moderate northwest to north-northwest swells are possible early next week.
Surf will continue to remain at background levels along south facing shores through the weekend. Surf along select east facing shores should see an increase late Thursday into Friday as the north swell fills in.
