Swell Summary

The current short period northeasterly (030 to 050 degree) swell will maintain advisory level surf along east facing shores tonight into Thursday, where a High Surf Advisory remains in effect through 6 PM HST Thursday. This swell will then decline late Thursday through this weekend as local trade winds weaken. Meanwhile, a small to moderate long period northwest swell is peaking this afternoon into this evening. This swell energy is keeping keeping surf along north and some west facing shores elevated, but below advisory levels. This swell will then decline late tonight through Friday. Another small, long period, northwest swell is progged to enter the local waters this weekend, which will again bring a sub-advisory level bump to surf along north and west facing shores.

A small, long period, south swell that peaked earlier today and generated surf near or slightly above the November average is now fading. Therefore, expect surf along south facing shores to gradually decline through the remainder of the week.
