Swell Summary
A north-northwest (330-340 deg) swell building tonight will be reinforced by a large long period north (340-350 deg) swell Saturday and Sunday. High Surf Advisory conditions are expected along most north facing shores through early Saturday. A much larger pulse of long period north swell will rapidly build Saturday afternoon and peak Saturday night and Sunday. During the peak, surf along north and exposed east facing shores of most islands should reach High Surf Warning levels, while most west facing shores experience advisory level conditions. The north swell will steadily decline on Monday and will fade by the middle of next week.
Small surf will prevail along south facing shores through early Sunday. Small pulses of south swell are possible late Sunday and Monday and again midweek.
