Swell Summary

A large, medium period northwest (320-340 degree) swell will continue to fill in this evening keeping surf along north and west facing shores above advisory levels. Recent buoy observations show this swell continues to run around 0.5 ft above guidance. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, and north facing shores of Maui. An overlapping long period north-northwest (350 degree) swell will build tonight and will likely push surf to slightly higher HSA heights on Tuesday. This swell will gradually decline through the remainder of the week.

A slight increase in choppy east shore surf is expected tonight though mid-week as trade winds strengthen. Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny to small through the forecast period.
