Swell Summary

A series of North Pacific swells are due this week, possibly leading to the first High Surf Warning event of the season. The current, declining north-northwest swell will be reinforced by the arrival of another north-northwest swell late this afternoon, leading to above October average north shore surf tonight into Monday. A deepening storm low that was West Pacific Typhoon Bolaven will send a large northwest swell toward the islands early next week. Low, long- period, westerly forerunners will arrive Monday and may produce High Surf Advisory level surf across west facing portions of the Big Island Monday night into Wednesday. Meanwhile, the larger, long-period northwest swell will build rapidly Monday night and Tuesday, and will likely produce High Surf Warning conditions for north and west facing shores from Kauai to Maui late Tuesday and Wednesday.

Along south facing shores, a series of south-southwest swells will keep surf around October average through much of the week. Due to the absence of significant upwind trades, minimal surf is due on east facing shores through at least Thursday.
