Swell Summary

Surf will hold relatively steady along east facing shores through today before gradually decreasing tonight through the weekend as winds decrease. The High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect through this afternoon and will likely be extended through tonight.

Surf along north and west facing shores will remain well below seasonal levels through the weekend, and surf along south facing shores will remain small.

Forerunners from a large, long-period north to north-northeast swell are forecast to arrive Sunday night, then rapidly build to near warning levels along north facing shores Monday through Tuesday. Also due to the northerly direction, elevated surf heights are expected along west Maui and west Big Island near Kua Bay. Surf heights are expected to reach advisory threshold for west Big Island on Monday and could reach advisory threshold for west Maui as well. Lastly, due to the large swell and northerly direction (010-030 degrees), heavy surges are expected along north facing harbors such as Kahului and Hilo harbors.
