Swell Summary
A large long period northwest swell will bring advisory level surf heights through Sunday and a High Surf Advisory (HSA) is in effect for exposed north and west facing shores. Swell energy will then hold above HSA thresholds into Monday as another much larger overlapping northwest swell swiftly builds surf to High Surf Warning levels potentially from Monday through Tuesday. Yet another XL swell will build into the islands by late Thursday, potentially producing another round of warning level surf along exposed north and west facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the weekend as winds over and upwind of Hawaii remain weak. Some increase in east shore surf is possible early next week as a cold front moves down the island chain. Along south shores, surf will remain very small through the forecast period.
