Swell Summary

The current north northwest swell will continue to fade even as a new medium period swell out of the north northeast builds in. This will provide a slight boost in north- facing shore surf with many sets coming in waist to head high Friday and Saturday. For the coming week, a series of multiple small north and northwest swells will generate below average surf along along north and west facing shores.

South-facing shores should remain small with some background long period south southwest swell expected to arrive Thursday or Friday. East-facing shore chop will also remain small due to the absence of any significant trade fetch. However, select east-facing exposures may see a small bump in surf due to wrap from the north- northeast swells Thursday and Friday.

Weak high pressure over the Islands will gradually strengthen over the next few days. This will result in several days of light to gentle easterlies, with slightly higher winds over windward Maui and Big Island. Near shore, localized sea breezes will likely predominate during the day and light offshore winds at night.
