Swell Summary

A large west-northwest swell will be reinforced overnight into Wednesday followed by another swell Thursday. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect along exposed north and west facing beaches of most islands through 6 PM HST Wednesday. Thursday's swell will be of similar size likely producing advisory level surf for the same areas, briefly falling below advisory levels between them.

Small surf is expected along east facing shores this week as trades remain light. A slight increase is possible through the rest of the week as trades become more established. Surf along south facing shores should see a small boost on Wednesday as a small south swell fills in through the second half of the week.
