Swell Summary
Surf along north and west facing shores will continue to trend up to advisory levels this evening and tonight as a medium- to long- period north northwest swell moves into the islands. A High Surf Advisory has been posted for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, and north facing shores of Maui through the overnight hours. This swell is expected to peak tonight, then gradually ease during the day on Wednesday. A larger northwest swell is expected during the second half of the week. It will build to advisory levels Thursday, then peak at warning levels Friday through Saturday. Small surf along south facing shores will hold steady through mid-week. Surf will also remain small along east facing shores due to the lack of trade winds.
