Swell Summary
Buoy observations from Hanalei and Waimea continue to show the decline of a long-period northwest swell which peaked overnight. The next, slightly larger, medium-period northwest swell will arrive into the islands on Monday and build through Monday night. This will be quickly followed by a moderate, long-period north- northwest swell Tuesday that will peak Tuesday night, then decline through Wednesday. The most impactful swell this week will be late in the week with a large, medium-period northwest swell forecast to peak near the High Surf Warning thresholds for north and west facing shores.
Surf along east shores will remain small over the next few days due to a lack of trades. Surf along south facing shores will see a small boost from tiny, long-period energy tonight through at least the first half of the week.
