Swell Summary

Extra large NW (320 degrees) swell will generate surf above the High Surf Warning thresholds through tonight for select N and W facing shores while surf holds at the advisory threshold for W facing shores of the Big Island. This swell will slowly subside during the next couple of days. The next swell in the sequence, a large long period NW (310) swell will build early next week with high confidence that high surf advisory thresholds will be reached for N and W facing shores Monday and Tuesday. This swell will then gradually lower through Thursday with a new large northwest swell possible late next week. Surf along S facing shores will remain very small and dominated by background energy through late next week. Surf along E facing shores will remain very small through the weekend before rising to above-normal levels with returning trades next week.
