South Swell Declines Sunday, More Strong Tradewinds On The Way - Hawaii

Originally posted on SURFER | Last updated 4/20/24

High pressure building in from the north-northwest will drift east and keep trade winds moderate to fresh through the weekend. The ridge of high pressure should rebuild early next week, which should produce fresh to locally strong trade winds once again.

South: The current south swell will hold today than steadily decline Sunday. A series of small, medium period swells will persist through the weekend keeping south facing shores from going flat.

North: Small, short period north swell will continue into the weekend. A larger moderate medium period north swell reinforcement will arrive late tonight. A rise in surf overnight is expected but the north swell looks to peak Sunday well below High Surf Advisory levels.

East: Surf along east facing shores will remain small but can expect a slight increase early next week as the trades strengthen.
