Hawaii Surf News Swell Forecast

Aloha Fridays Forecast:  Getting back to a more Easterly tradewind pattern later today, and will strengthen through the weekend. Winter surf knocking on the door from the WNW, and should be boosting UP the leeward breaks by manana.  Also, the local and far upstream tradewinds are boosting UP the windswell action for windward breaks above normal heights, thanks to the stronger period span....

Note: The SW and SE buoys ( # 51002 & 51004) remain out of order with registering wave/swell heights and period span.

From NWS: Light and variable winds expected today with trade winds returning tonight, and strengthening this weekend. Locally generated sea breezes will focus clouds and some showers across island interiors, while convergence band showers will linger over for the western half of the state today. Showers will become focused on windward terrain as trades build and volcanic haze will clear out of the smaller islands.

Windward shores -   E -  ESE windswell  @ 10- 11 seconds reaching head high levels, with some + sets at the stand out spots for E - SE  facing breaks. Back to onshore winds for many E facing breaks, but the morning session should be decent with smooth waters.

Leeward Shores -  Not much out there today for the Kona - Kohala coast. More of a paddlers delight. This will be changing soon with a nice WNW starting to arrive tonight along the outer islands. Keep tabs on the # 1 and 3 buoys. Period span should reach the 20 second mark. Reinforcement WNW will be on its heels, so stay healty and get ready for many days stacked with surf.

North Shores - Mix of declining N and E energy. Get it. 

Southern Shores -  Flat to minimal, aside from windward S facing breaks with the ESE windswell wrapping in, but windy.
