Swell Summary
The current west northwest swell will hold near High Surf Advisory (HSA) level surf along many north and west-facing shores today. This swell will gradually decline this morning but will still provide the occasional advisory level sets through the day. A reinforcing moderate size, medium period west northwest swell arriving tonight into Thursday will warrant holding onto the ongoing HSA. Because of the more westerly direction of these recent swells, Oahu and Maui's north- facing shores may experience some minor shadowing by Kauai. However, coastal areas of west Big Island better exposed to this west component will likely continue to see minor overwash onto the most vulnerable low lying roadways and partially-inundated beaches through the good part of the day. A large west-northwest swell early next week will again result in these coastal inundation hazards. East-facing shore light wind wave chop due to the absence of trades. South-facing shore surf will remain small except for those areas better exposed to west wrap.
