Swell Summary
The current west-northwest swell will hold through this evening before a long-period reinforcement builds in tonight through Sunday. Surf heights are expected to reach advisory levels after midnight tonight and peak Sunday afternoon along north and west facing shores. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) has been issued for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and north facing shores of Maui through Sunday night. If this swell comes in larger than expected, may need to add west facing shores of the Big Island to the HSA. This swell will slowly lower through the first part of next week. A slightly larger northwest swell is expected to build in late Tuesday and linger through Wednesday, resulting in peak surf heights near- warning level for north and west facing shores. Small surf is expected along south and east facing shores.
