Swell Summary
A broad area of rough short period east swell is lowering from east to west. As a result, the High Surf Advisory for east-facing shores of Oahu and Kauai remains in effect through tonight, while surf on Big Island and Maui County has fallen below the advisory level. East shore surf will slowly decline Monday through Wednesday, though small, medium period swells from distant east Pacific hurricanes will maintain moderate surf during the remainder of the week.
A mix of long to medium period south-southwest swell and building short to medium period south swell from Hurricane Nolo will keep surf along south facing shores elevated during the next couple of days. The hurricane swell may push heights to the advisory level level on Monday. As Nolo makes a turn toward the north-northwest, the likelihood of advisory level surf from the shifting southwest swell will increase Monday night and Tuesday, especially across Kauai and Oahu. By Wednesday, the swell will switch out of the west.
On north facing shores, a small medium period swell will maintain small surf through Monday, followed by a decline Tuesday. Some wrapping west swell from Hurricane Nolo is possible by Wednesday.
