Swell Summary
Existing small NW swell will slowly decline through early Saturday. Surf along north facing shores will then return to typical summertime flat levels over the weekend through the middle of next week, aside from some trade wind swell wrap. Surf along south facing shores will remain small today, near or slightly below the summertime average. Meanwhile, observations indicate surf is elevated for the southeast-facing shores of the Big Island. Short period swell associated with TS Hone will continue building and will maintain hazardous surf for east and southeast facing shores of the Big Island through the weekend. A High Surf Advisory has been issued accordingly.
