Swell Summary
A large, medium period northwest swell is declining below High Surf Advisory (HSA) thresholds this morning. Surf heights will briefly remain below HSA levels through tonight. Two overlapping north to north-northeast swells will move into the Hawaii region starting later today and lasting through this weekend. The larger north-northeast swell will become the dominant swell from tonight into the weekend. This swell will likely produce advisory to warning level surf along all exposed north facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through today due to the lack of trade wind flow and smaller swell heights. Rapidly building surf is forecast along east facing shores from tonight into next week as the north-northeast swell builds and strong trades return. Surf heights will also reach solid HSA levels along exposed east facing shores from Friday to Sunday. South shore surf will remain small through early next week.
