Swell Summary

A large west-northwest swell will sharply rise through the rest of the afternoon and peak overnight. Due to the westerly direction of the swell, some locations in the High Surf Warning and High Surf Advisory areas may experience reduced swell due to shadowing produced by other islands. While the warning and advisory are in effect for most areas only through tonight, advisory level surf is expected over most affected areas Wednesday into early Thursday. Surf will fall below advisory levels Thursday, followed by another large pulse of west- northwest swell on Friday and Saturday.

Surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through the week, though a modest uptick in waves on the south shore is possible later Wednesday into the weekend.
