Swell Summary
A very large northwest swell will build late tonight and early Wednesday, and may peak in excess of 20 feet from late Wednesday into early Thursday. In addition, strong west to southwest winds will produce disorganized surf conditions. Surf heights produced by the northwest swell and the local wind waves will be well above the High Surf Warning thresholds along most north and west facing shores, including the leeward Big Island, through Thursday night. The swell will gradually decline, and shift out of the north-northwest from Friday through this weekend.
Minimal trade wind swell is expected this week, although there is some potential for localized wave wrap along east facing shores exposed to the large northwest swell from late Wednesday into Friday. Rough surf may briefly increase along south facing shores as the front moves down the island chain late tonight and Wednesday.
