Swell Summary

A mix of a small medium-period northwest (330 deg) swell and a small short- to medium-period north-northeast (020 deg) swell will maintain small surf along north facing shores through Saturday. The smaller forerunners of a moderate to large long- period northwest (320 deg) swell will build into Hawaiian waters starting Sunday afternoon. This swell energy will build to High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels by Monday, then likely hold through Tuesday before slowly falling below from Wednesday onward.

Surf along south facing shores will remain small through the weekend with a series of background south and southwest swells. East facing shores will remain tiny to small through Friday. In addition, a small medium- to long-period easterly swell from Tropical Cyclone Priscilla in the East Pacific is forecast to arrive late Saturday into Sunday.
