The current northwest swell is declining slowly through the day today and Wednesday. A much larger north swell will build overnight Wednesday into Thanksgiving Day. The peak of this swell could reach warning levels and it could coincide with the spring high tide during the early morning hours Thursday and Friday. Areas exposed to north swells on other shorelines should see a significant rise in surf as the north swell moves in. Looking into the weekend, a strong north northeast swell could potentially reaching advisory levels for north facing shores. There is potential for significant harbor surges for Kahului, and Hilo starting Thursday through the weekend with both north swells.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy associated with the strong trade winds. South facing shores will see minimal energy for the foreseeable future.
