Swell Summary

Near head high north-facing surf, with waist to chest level surf along the west shores, will hold through tonight with only a subtle fall Friday. The ongoing near 3 to 4 foot, 12 second north northwest swell will significantly decline this weekend. A much larger, long period north northwest swell originating from a deep hurricane force low over the northwest Pacific later this week is scheduled to reach the islands sometime around the middle of next week. This swell will likely lift surf along northern and western exposures to high surf warning heights late next week. Rough, choppy surf will occur along east-facing shores through Friday in response to recently fresh to strong trades. East wind wave surf will subside this weekend once trades fall off.
