Swell Summary
Nearshore windward buoys are observing a 4 to 5 foot trade wind swell that will further decline throughout the remainder of the week as a result of light trades.
A series of northwest and north-northeast swells are due within a couple of days. A tiny 1 to 2 foot, 15 second period northwest (320 degree) swell is being observed at the nearshore CDIP buoys as it moves around the islands early this morning. This swell will level out around 2 feet today and then hang in through Friday. A larger 3 to 6 foot northwest (310-320 degree) medium period swell developing from a pair of lows far northwest of the islands is scheduled to travel through this weekend and peak Sunday. A smaller reinforcing northwest pulse (320 degree) is due Monday and Tuesday.
A small, short to medium period north (010-020 degree) swell will slowly build in today and hold at 4 to 5 feet Friday and Saturday. A very large, powerful storm force low churning off the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast will send an overlapping north-northeast (010-030 degree) swell across the islands late tonight or early Friday, peaking Sunday into Monday and then fading Tuesday.
