Swell Summary
A series of large northwest swells will produce periods of elevated surf this week. The latest northwest (310 to 320 degrees) swell peaked a couple of feet above guidance at NOAA buoy 51001 this morning. Resulting surf peak well above the High Surf Advisory (HSA) level along north and exposed west facing shores from Kauai to Maui late this afternoon and evening. Surf will begin a slow decline late tonight and should drop below advisory levels by Sunday afternoon. North shore surf will be well below seasonal average by Monday, and the swell will fade as it shifts out of the north-northwest on Tuesday. A potentially larger northwest swell is expected to arrive Wednesday and peak into Thanksgiving day. This swell will decline Friday and Saturday, though there are high odds for a larger west- northwest swell later next weekend.
As trade winds drop a notch over the next couple of days, surf along east facing shores will decline and will be well below seasonal average through much the coming week. A small south- southeast swell will fade on Sunday, and south shore surf will be tiny through much of the week.
