Swell Summary
Large to extra-large surf will prevail into Saturday, with another round of elevated surf due early next week. A complex storm low far northwest of Hawaii generated overlapping west-northwest to northwest (295 to 320 degrees) swells that are currently affecting the islands. Resulting surf will peak tonight above High Surf Warning levels along north and west facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, and Molokai and at High Surf Advisory levels for north Maui and west Big Island. As the swell declines, the warnings and advisories will likely be dropped Saturday evening or Sunday morning. Another round of potentially larger northwest swell is expected late Monday through early Thursday.
Surf along east- and south-facing shores will remain small through the week.
