Swell Summary
PacIOOS Buoy 51201 near Waimea Bay has begun to observe long period forerunners as the swell has begun to rise on north and west facing shores. This large long period north-northwest swell (340 deg) will peak late tonight into early Thursday morning before declining through Friday. Surf will decrease Friday followed by a north swell this weekend which could push surf back to advisory levels on Sunday. Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy due to the strong trade winds through Friday, then may diminish slightly this weekend. A small, long-period south swell may bring a small bump to south shore surf today into Thursday. Surf becomes tiny again Friday into the weekend for south- facing shores.
