Swell Summary

An extended period of hazardous surf and beach conditions will persist into Monday along exposed north and west facing shores due to an extra-large northwest swell (315-330 degrees) arriving today. This swell will rapidly build down the island chain and peak today, and then gradually ease tonight through Monday. Surf will fall into the High Surf Advisory range by late Monday and should decline below advisory levels later Tuesday. On the Big Island, surf will rise to warning levels along western shores this afternoon and tonight. Another large northwest swell is expected Thursday and Friday, but it is not anticipated to be as large as today's swell. Aside from areas exposed to the northwest swell, surf along east and south facing shores will remain small through Monday. As trades return, some increase in rough, short period energy is expected for eastern shores late Monday through the holiday week.
