Swell Summary

The current south swell that peaked yesterday will slowly decline through the rest of the week. Meanwhile, strong to gale force southerly winds that are expected to develop tonight over the western half of the state will produce large, disorganized surf along south facing shores of Kauai and Oahu.

Along north facing shores, the current mid period northwest (320 degree) swell will steadily lower tonight and dissipate to background levels on Friday. However a smaller short-period northwest swell generated by the low developing just west of us will fill in Friday night through early next week.

Surf along east facing shores could see an increase later this week due to the strengthening southeasterly winds especially for southeast exposures.
