Swell Summary
The current extra-large northwest swell has peaked and will gradually decline through Saturday. A High Surf Warning remains in effect for most north and west facing shores through 6 PM this evening. Surf will likely hold at advisory levels for these same areas tonight, before dropping below the advisory threshold for Friday. A new long-period northwest swell will arrive late Saturday and Saturday night, peak Sunday into Sunday night, then lower Sunday night into Monday. This swell will give a boost to surf along north and west facing shores, but will likely remain below advisory levels. The next in the series of northwest swells will arrive early Monday, peak late Monday and Monday night, then gradually decline through the middle of next week. This swell may reach advisory levels as it peaks.
East shore surf not exposed to the series of northwest swells will remain will remain very small today, then gradually rise Friday through Saturday as the trades return over and upstream of the islands. Surf will then hold relatively steady along east facing shores through the middle of next week.
South shore surf will remain very small through the middle of next week.
