Swell Summary
A large west-northwest swell peaked earlier this morning and will decline this evening, but a west northwest reinforcement expected Thursday morning that will push surf heights back up over advisory levels for some exposed north and west facing shores. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect along exposed north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and the west facing shores of the Big Island. Note that the north shores of Maui, due to more blockage from the west northwest, is cancelled.
Small surf is expected along east facing shores this week as winds remain light. Surf along south facing shores should see a small boost today as a small south swell fills in through the end of the week.
