Swell Summary
A moderate, medium period northwest swell (320 degrees) is filling in across north and west facing shores of Kauai and Oahu this afternoon as seen at the Waimea buoy, bringing surf heights above High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria. This swell is expected to peak tonight into early Friday, then ease into the weekend. A HSA is in effect for north and west facing shores of Oahu and Kauai this afternoon and will expand across north and west facing shores of Molokai and north facing shores of Maui this evening. This swell will hold through Friday, then gradually fade and veer to the north northwest through the remainder of the weekend and into early next week and bring below average surf for December for north and west facing shores.
East shore surf will gradually build and become choppy tonight through Friday as trade winds increase. Expect minimal background energy for south facing shores through much of the week.
