Swell Summary

An extra-large, medium- to long-period northwest (310-320 degree) swell is continuing to move through the islands, resulting in warning level surf along exposed north and west facing shores. The resulting extra-large to giant surf is expected to peak this afternoon into this evening along exposed coasts of the smaller islands, with heights well above warning levels lingering into Wednesday before gradually lowering to advisory levels by Thursday. A High Surf Warning remains in effect for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, north facing shores of Maui, and west facing shores of the Big Island through the day on Wednesday. A High Surf Advisory also remains in effect for north facing shores of the Big Island. Surf along north and west facing shores will potentially return to warning levels for exposed coasts by Friday night into Saturday due to a new northwest swell arriving, generated from a low currently over the far northwest Pacific.

Surf along east facing shores could quickly rise and become rough this weekend as strong to gale-force northeast winds fill in behind a cold front expected.
