Swell Summary

A gale low is directing a moderate to large short period NNE (020) swell that will peak tonight. Given recent observations at NDBC Buoy 51000, surf will reach the High Surf Advisory (HSA) threshold for N facing shores, select exposed E facing shorelines, and West Maui. A High Surf Advisory has therefore been issued for these zones. This swell will slowly decline through the week.

Surf along E shores remains short period and choppy due to steady trade winds with select shorelines also seeing exposure to the imminent NNE swell. For S shores, a small medium period swell will provide small surf for the next few days. Surf along W shores remains small.
