Swell Summary
Near shore buoys show the current moderate, medium period north swell has peaked and is trending down. Thus the High Surf Advisory has been cancelled for north facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and Maui. Surf along north facing shores will continue to gradually decline through Friday as the swell shifts out of the north and north- northeast. A small reinforcing pulse out of the north is expect Saturday. A new small to moderate long period west- northwest swell is expected to arrive late Saturday and hold through early next week.
Surf along south shores will see moderate surf just below advisory criteria as a long period south swell peaks tonight and holds through Thursday. The next small, long period south swell will fill in Saturday and peak Sunday, providing a small boost in surf along south facing shores before fading into early next week. Surf along east facing shores will remain well below average due to the lack of trades locally and upstream through the weekend. The exception will be for east facing shores exposed to north- northeast swells Thursday through the weekend.
