Swell Summary

South to southeast fresh swell emanating from Nolo will spread west across the southern nearshore waters as the system tracks west through early next week. The High Surf Advisory (HSA) for E and SE facing shores of the Big Island, Maui, and Molokai remains in effect and has been extended through Sunday. In addition, an HSA is now in effect for Kauai, Oahu, and Niihau beginning tonight due to strengthening trades. A small, long period NW swell fills in this weekend in maintenance of elevated surf along exposed shorelines into early next week.
