The current small to moderate, medium period, northwest swell (320-330 degrees) will continue to slowly subside through early Saturday keeping surf near seasonal normals along north facing shores. A deep low pressure system far north of the state generated a large, short to medium period, northerly swell with a north to south fetch pointed directly towards the islands. This swell will help to bump surf heights up late Saturday into Sunday, with surf likely exceeding High Surf Advisory thresholds for north facing shores. This fetch will also favor harbor surges in north facing harbors such as Kahului and Hilo on Sunday. Additional north-northeast swells will keep surf elevated along north facing shores through early next week.
Light and variable winds will keep small surf along east facing shores through Saturday. As the front moves across the islands late Saturday into Sunday, winds will shift northeasterly and increase in strength. This, combined with a large, moderate period, north to north-northeast swell (010-030 degrees) will bring elevated surf and choppy conditions to east facing shores late Saturday through Monday. A High Surf Advisory may be needed during the peak of the event.
A small, long period, south-southwest swell will keep surf heights near seasonal normals along south facing shores through Saturday. Several more similarly sized southerly swells will enter the waters Sunday into early next week.
