Swell Summary

The High Surf Advisory (HSA) remains in effect for the north and west-facing shores of the smaller islands, except Maui's west shore, through Tuesday afternoon. This is associated with an ongoing passing northwest (320 degree) medium period swell that has been gradually leveling out through the night and to capture the next swell. The next large north northwest (340 degree) swell generated from a former hurricane force low will begin filling in tonight and peak Tuesday. This large, long period swell will likely drive north and west-facing surf heights to High Surf Warning levels Tuesday morning. This large swell should slowly decline from Tuesday night through the remainder of the week as it veers more northerly by Thursday. Strengthening trades the next couple of days will increase eastern exposure chop and lead to rough surf from Tuesday into the middle of the week.
