Swell Summary

Surf along exposed north and west facing shores will rapidly build through the morning hours, peak this afternoon through Friday, then slowly ease over the weekend as a west-northwest (290 to 315 degrees) swell builds down the island chain. A High Surf Warning has been issued for exposed north and west facing shores of the smaller islands and for west facing shores of the Big Island. This swell will slowly lower over the weekend and into early next week. An upward trend is possible Monday through midweek, as a couple of smaller northwest swells arrive. Small surf is expected for south and east facing shores. The exception could be for south facing shores exposed to more westerly swells, which could see a rise through the day today.
