Swell Summary
Surf along north facing shores will remain small to moderate through Friday due to a gradually declining west-northwest swell. A storm low south of the Aleutian Islands will deepen and generate a larger north- northwest (330 degrees) swell that will build rapidly on Saturday and peak through Sunday, producing surf near High Surf Warning levels along north and some west facing shores. Another storm low is expected to develop closer to Hawaii this weekend and generate a larger long period northwest (320-330 deg) swell. This swell will likely produce surf above the High Surf Warning thresholds late Monday and Tuesday. Stay tuned as the low develops.
Surf along east facing shores will continue to decline through the weekend as winds over and upwind of Hawaii remain weak. Some increase in east shore surf is possible early next week. Along south shores, surf will remain very small through the forecast period.
