Swell Summary
Surf heights are expected to rapidly build along north and west facing shores this evening and peak Tuesday well above High Surf Warning levels along most north and west facing shores as an extra large northwest swell builds in. Though the swell will peak on Tuesday, overlapping pulses will keep surf elevated through Wednesday before subsiding below High Surf Advisory levels Thursday night into Friday. A High Surf Warning has been issued for north and west facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, and the Big Island, and for north facing shores of Maui. Another extra large swell is possible late Friday and Saturday.
Rough choppy surf along south facing shores will hold through tonight as southerly winds remain strong ahead of the front. Surf along east facing shores will remain tiny through much of the week due to lack of strong trades near and upstream of the state. An increase surf is possible along east shores this weekend.
