Swell Summary
The large, long period northwest swell that peaked last night will steadily decline through the day. This will translate to slowly declining surf today, a more significant drop tomorrow. North and west facing surf will fall to borderline warning levels by mid-day and be at advisory levels tonight. Thus, a High Surf Warning (HSW) remains in effect for the north and west- facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, along with north facing shores of Maui, through the afternoon. Surf is peaking early this morning on the west-facing shores of Big Island. A HSW also remains in effect for these shores through the day. A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) is in effect today for elevated seas brought on by this passing large northwest swell. The SCA will be pared back to the windier waters surrounding Maui County and Big Island Sunday. The next northwest swell is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday into Wednesday. This swell could generate advisory level surf along many north and west-facing shores.
ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD The recent 2 to 3 foot south swell that peaked last night will gradually decline this weekend. South surf should return to background levels, or be nearly flat, by the middle of next week.
East-facing shore surf will become more choppy the next couple of days as a result of post-frontal moderate trade flow. East shore surf becomes more rough Sunday and Monday in response to strengthening trades. Select northeastern to eastern exposures may experience some wrap today from the passing large northwest swell.
