Swell Summary
Surf along exposed E shores will remain rough, with surf hovering around the advisory level through tonight. A downward trend will follow over the weekend as the winds diminish locally and upstream of the state. Surf along exposed N and E facing shores will quickly build through the day Monday, then peak above warning levels Monday night into Tuesday as a long-period NNE swell arrives. This will be a long duration event, with surf likely remaining above the advisory level for east facing shores through much of the week. This swell direction will bring large surf to coasts that typically remain protected such as Kua Bay, Hilo Bay, West Maui, and exposed shores of Lanai.
