Swell Summary
A large to extra large NW (310-320) swell is building this evening and will reach High Surf Warning (HSW) thresholds late tonight before peaking early Friday. A High Surf Advisory may eventually be needed for west facing shores of the Big Island. Additionally, peak extra large surf is forecast to coincide with high tide early Friday which will lead to overwash of low lying coastal zones. Another moderate large WNW swell is expected on Monday. Surf along S facing shores remains tiny and dominated by background energy through the week. Surf likewise remains tiny along E facing shores due to light background winds, but will receive an appreciable boost with the return of strong trades next week.
