Swell Summary

A moderate, short-medium period, north-northwest to north swell arrived overnight and will produce elevated surf along north facing shores as it continues to fill in through the day today. We are expecting near borderline advisory level surf along north facing shores today. Will continue to monitor to see if a High Surf Advisory (HSA) is needed later this morning, as this swell energy is continuing to rise at the Waimea buoy.

A larger moderate period north to north-northeast (010-030 degree) swell will fill in tonight into Monday which should exceed advisory thresholds along north and east facing shores. Due to the northerly direction, areas such as west Maui will also see elevated surf as well as some of the exposed areas of west Big Island near Kua Bay. Another reinforcing northeast swell is expected towards the middle of the week as a gale force low develops northeast of the state on Monday.

A small, long period, south-southwest swell will keep surf heights near seasonal averages along south facing shores today. Then a pair of south to south-southwest swells should bring above average surf throughout the first half of the week.
