Swell Summary

An overlapping north and northwest swell will bring advisory conditions to north and west facing shores today through midday Thursday. Most of the focus of the north swell will be directed towards Niihau and Kauai. A High Surf Advisory has been posted for Niihau, Kauai, Oahu and Molokai. Both swells will fall through the day Thursday. Another northwest swell pushing surf back near the advisory level Saturday.

East shore surf will be on the rise today and Thursday, primarily from increased short period trade wind swell. Kauai and Niihau may get some wrap around swell out of the north pushing surf heights just below advisory level. East shore surf will decline through the weekend as trades weaken over and upstream of the islands.
