A long-period northwest swell will arrive on Tuesday that will continue through the end of the week even as swell energy becomes shorter period as it is reinforced by a low to the north- northwest of the Hawaiian Islands. Surf along east facing shores will diminish tonight through the rest of the week as winds weaken.

A small, long-period west swell originating from Typhoon Choi-wan is forecast to reach the islands Thursday into the weekend, which may produce moderate surf for west-facing shores.
