Swell Summary
The extra-large northwest swell that has been impacting the islands over the past day or so is declining, but it is still producing warning-level surf along exposed north and west facing shores. Given the latest observations and guidance, the High Surf Warning for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, north facing shores of Maui, and west facing shores of the Big Island has been extended through tonight. Surf heights are expected to lower below warning thresholds for impacted shores Thursday as the swell continues to decline. Heights will dip below advisory levels for a brief period Thursday night into Friday, then return to warning levels for exposed coasts Friday night into Saturday due to a fresh northwest swell arriving. The High Surf Advisory for north facing shores of the Big Island has also been extended through tonight, but will likely be dropped thereafter.
Surf along east facing shores could quickly rise and become rough this weekend, with heights potentially nearing the warning level during the peak by Monday. Surf along south facing shores will remain small throughout the forecast period.
