Swell Summary
Overlapping L to XL long-period NW swells will maintain High Surf Warning-level surf along most N and W facing shores through Thursday. Average overnight swell heights and periods at NDBC buoys 51001/51101 NW of Kauai have been around 14 feet 15 seconds, supporting fairly steady surf heights today. Swell at these buoys will trend up toward XL heights this afternoon and tonight, with peak surf likely occurring on Wednesday. As some of this swell is being generated by an extensive fetch of W to NW winds passing just N of the islands, a wide range of wave periods is expected.
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD NW swell will gradually diminish from Thursday into Saturday, with surf falling below High Surf Advisory heights by Saturday. A moderate NW swell is possible Sunday. Locally strong SW winds will bring choppy wind waves to S and W facing shores (especially on Kauai and Oahu) through tonight before diminishing.
