Swell Summary

A series of small, medium period northwest and north northeast swells will hold waist to head high surf along many north and northeastern-facing exposures through Thursday. A large northwest swell arriving Friday could lift surf to near High Surf Warning (HSW) levels along many north and west-facing shores. There is a higher probability that a large, medium period northwest swell arriving early next week will have the potential to produce solid HSW-level surf along most north and west-facing shorelines. East surf will remain slightly elevated through Thursday in Maui and Big Island despite the lighter trades in response to the northeast swell. The low period, wind wave chop should subtly subside on Oahu and Kauai because of these much tamer winds. South shore surf will remain very small with only background south swell energy moving through the next several days.
