Swell Summary

The current moderate medium period west-northwest swell will continue to decline through Saturday. Another WNW swell will arrive Sunday and Monday into the High Surf Advisory levels along select north and west facing shores, and may impact leeward Big Island as well. Another storm is currently developing in the far northwest Pacific and is forecasted to track eastward and merge with the low that will produce this weekends swell. As a result, a large to extra-large long period west- northwest swell is expected Tuesday and could push surf heights to High Surf Warning levels.

Short-period choppy wind waves along south and west facing shores will ease as winds trend down today, but will likely redevelop again over the weekend as southwest winds increase again. Surf along east facing shores will remain small due to the lack of easterly trade winds. Surf along south facing shores will remain small except for areas exposed to the west wrap.
