Swell Summary
A series of large to extra large northwest to north-northwest swells will continue to move through the islands through the weekend, peaking on Sunday. A High Surf Warning is in effect for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai and north facing shores of Maui through 6 PM Saturday. A High Surf Advisory is in effect for north and west facing shores of the Big Island through 6 PM Saturday.
Surf may briefly drop down to advisory levels late Saturday afternoon and evening along north and west facing shores, before the largest of the swells arrive late Saturday night into Sunday. This swell is expected to bring the largest surf of the season to north facing shores on Sunday.
Aside from areas exposed to wrapping northwest swell, surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through the weekend. East shore surf will trend up early next week as the trades over and upstream of the islands strengthen.
