Swell Summary
Per nearshore PacIOOS buoy observations at Hanalei and Waimea, swell out of the northerly quadrant is dominated by a small medium to long period NW (310-330) and a moderate but shorter period NNE (350-020) swell. This translates to small surf along N and W facing shores that will hold through today and then decline tonight. Existing NW swell will then be reinforced by a new moderate long period NW (320-330) swell that will maintain elevated surf through the first half of the weekend before it declines during Sunday. The first half of next week will then feature a moderate long period NW (320) swell that will peak Monday into Monday night only to be quickly followed by a borderline large NW (320) long period swell the forerunners of which should begin arriving late Tuesday. This latter swell will likely elevate surf to the High Surf Advisory threshold for N and W facing shores on Wednesday. Surf along east-facing shores will remain elevated and choppy through the middle of next week due to the strong trade winds. Surf along south-facing shores will remain small and near the seasonal average through the middle of next week.
