Swell Summary

New medium period NW (310) swell has arrived at the Hanalei PacIOOS Buoy this afternoon and and will continue building into area waters tonight. This swell will quickly peak just shy of the High Surf Advisory threshold tonight and fade during Thursday. Overlapping this swell will be a smaller NNW (340) swell that is forecast to arrive early Thursday peaking Thursday night into early Friday. A sharp downward trend for N shore surf is anticipated during the weekend followed by a large NW swell late Monday night and Tuesday. E shore surf remains below the seasonal average through the week. Surf along S shores remains very small through the period.
