Swell Summary

A west northwest swell will decline tonight pushing surf below the advisory threshold for north and west facing shores. Therefore, the High Surf Advisory is cancelled for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and west facing shores of the Big Island. Another northwest swell is due late Saturday into early next week with peak surf heights likely reaching warning levels along north and west facing shores. Yet another similar sized northwest swell is due in late Tuesday.

Small surf is expected along east facing shores over the next week as trade winds remain light. Surf along south facing shores should see a small boost as a small south swell fills in through the end of the week.
