Swell Summary
A moderate, medium-period west to southwest swell originating from Nolo that has been affecting Niihau and Kauai will quickly fade tonight. Meanwhile, a small background south swell continues for other islands, holding surf mostly steady along south facing shores through the weekend. A new small, long-period south swell, originating from a large fetch of gale force winds southeast of New Zealand earlier this week, is forecast to arrive beginning Sunday and peak Monday through Wednesday.
Surf along north-facing shores saw a small bump today as a small, short to medium period swell moved into the region. This will peak late today, then decline into the weekend. Another increase in small north shore surf is possible early next week as a small, medium- period northwest swell arrives this weekend and peaks on Monday. This will be followed by a slightly larger long-period northwest swell peaking on Wednesday. Surf along east facing shores will see a slight boost and become more choppy as easterly trades build back into the region this weekend.
