Swell Summary
An upward trend in surf along north and west facing shores is expected this weekend as a long-period north-northwest swell builds down the island chain. This swell will peak this afternoon through tonight. A High Surf Advisory is posted through tonight for exposed north and west facing shores from Kauai to Maui County based on upstream buoy observations. A slow downward trend is expected by late Sunday.
Surf along exposed north and east facing shores will trend up early next week as a medium-period north-northeast swell arrives. Surf heights will likely reach the advisory levels (potentially near the warning level for east facing shores) as this swell peaks Monday through Tuesday. Otherwise, short-period/rough surf is anticipated along exposed eastern shores due to the strong trades locally and upstream.
Surf along south facing shores will potentially trend up late next week due to the arrival of a long-period south swell.
