Swell Summary
Strong trade winds will continue to bring advisory level surf to east facing shores through tonight. Latest nearshore buoy observations just started to show a downward trend in wave heights and we should see a gradual downward trend tonight. Surf is expected to fall just below advisory levels by Thursday, but will remain rough and elevated for the foreseeable future. Trades are expected to restrengthen over the weekend into early next week, which will produce another round of advisory level surf and possibly warning level surf along east facing shores of Oahu and Kauai.
Small to medium northwest swells will continue through the weekend with smaller surf expected during the first half of next week. Currently we have a small northwest swell that filled in during the day today and will be followed by a slightly larger northwest swells Thursday and Friday. Small along south facing shores will continue to remain small with some background windswell for select exposures.
