Swell Summary

An extra-large northwest (310-320) swell peaked overnight and is starting to decline. However, this swell will continue to generate surf heights in excess of warning threshold along affected north and west facing shorelines through today. A High Surf Warning (HSW) remains in effect through 6pm HST this evening for most north and west-facing shores of the smaller islands and for west facing shores of the Big Island. Expect periodic overtopping of vulnerable coastal roadways and wave runup to coastal properties. A gradual downward trend will continue through this weekend and surf should decrease below advisory threshold during the day Sunday.

Looking ahead into next week, a stretch of elevated north and west shore surf is expected, produced by overlapping northwest pulses ranging from large to potentially extra-large, particularly from Wednesday onward. Surf along east facing shores will remain slightly elevated through the weekend due to the lingering short- period north- northeast swell. Early next week, east facing shore surf will remain small. Surf along south facing shores will see an uptick heading into next week from a series of consecutive southwest pulses. This will result in small to moderate surf, peaking Monday and Tuesday.
