Swell Summary
The latest offshore buoy 51001 observations are showing slightly higher NNW long period swell energy moving into the Hawaii region that will swiftly build surf heights along north and west facing shores just above High Surf Advisory (HSA) thresholds. The surf forecast was updated to reflect these higher surf heights and a HSA was issued this evening for north and west facing shores of Kauai, Niihau, Oahu, Molokai; including north facing shores of Maui. This moderate, medium period NNW (330) swell will peak later tonight keeping surf heights just above the HSA thresholds through Thursday afternoon before falling below HSA thresholds by Thursday night.
The current swell will briefly decrease by Thursday night only to be followed by renewed long period energy from a larger and slightly more NNW (340) swell that will peak Friday into Saturday. This swell holds a higher probability of exceeding HSA thresholds for N and W facing shores Fri into Sat. Background medium to long period S to SSW swells will filter into the area through the week keeping surf along S facing shores from going flat. Rough, choppy surf along E shores will continue through the forecast period and will see a slight increase during the second half of the week into the weekend.
