Swell Summary

The early week northwest swell is continuing to fall through the day. It will be followed by a slightly larger size northwest swell building in later tonight. This swell's forerunners are now passing around the far northwest offshore buoys during the pre-dawn morning hours. This times the swell to fill in through the afternoon hours and peak along Kauai-to-Maui's better exposed north and west-facing coasts from late tonight through Wednesday. This high end moderate size, long period swell will likely produce High Surf Advisory (HSA) level north and west-facing shore surf tonight and Wednesday. North and west shore surf will fall below HSA heights Thursday. The next moderate size, medium to long period northwest swell is expected to arrive this weekend. The weak pulse of early season south southwest swell will fade out through the day. This inconsistent swell will keep south-facing shore surf slightly elevated through tonight with a gradual decline in surf as the swell fades Wednesday. East shore surf will remain small through Wednesday. There will be a slight pick up in east chop late this week in response to strengthened trades.
