Swell Summary
Large and rough surf along south shores have already decreased significantly from this morning's peak, (Barber's Point reported 25 feet) and is expected to continue decreasing tonight. The exception will be the west facing shores of the Big Island where high surf could linger into the evening hours before dropping rapidly tomorrow morning. The high surf warning for south facing shores has been cancelled, as well as the advisory for the east facing shores. An exception however is for the Big Island where southwest swell could still impact shorelines through the evening hours. Moderate sized medium period south swell will linger for the next few days, keeping south shore surf heights from dipping below the September averages (5 ft) until the weekend when surf heights will become small.
Surf along east facing shores will remain elevated through tomorrow but stay below advisory thresholds. That swell will then fade through the next several days. Surf along north facing shores experienced a solid rise due to Lowell this morning. This swell will quickly fade through the week as Lowell weakens and tracks away from the islands.
