Swell Summary
Two moderate, long period NW and NNW swells moving through the Hawaii region will keep surf heights elevated along N and W facing shores through the end of the week. Surf along N and W facing shores slowly trends down on Sunday. A hurricane force low E of Japan will bring another round of moderate, long period NW swell into the islands building surf heights along N and W facing shores from next Wednesday onward. This next long period swell may possibly reach low end High Surf Advisory levels from Wednesday into Thursday if we add a one to two foot upward adjustment to swell heights as compared to the ECMWF Wave model.
A series of small, medium to long period S to SW swells filter into the area into the weekend, keeping S shores from going flat. Short period surf along E shores picks up through the weekend as trade winds strengthen.
