Swell Summary
A large northwest (315 degrees) swell moving into the islands today will bring surf to warning levels on the north and west facing shores of the smaller islands. A series of storm lows passing northwest of Hawaii will continue to send larger pulses of north-northwest swell that will should keep surf above warning levels through the weekend. Aside from areas exposed to wrapping northwest swell, surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through much of the week. The best chance for a small rise in southwest swell will be on Thursday and Friday.
