HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Moderate to breezy easterly trade winds are expected to persist through the week, with showers favoring windward and mauka locations as areas of moisture move through.
The trade winds are forecast to become strong and gusty starting around Wednesday and lasting into the weekend.
A great tool to have is our First Alert Weather App and interactive radar.
Surf is also on the rise on north and west-facing shores. The next moderate NW swell will continue to build into Hawaiian waters through the morning hours, peaking near advisory levels for Kauai and Oahu by this evening. This swell will be followed by a slightly larger NW swell filling in from late Tuesday into Wednesday, which should produce advisory level surf along exposed N and W facing shores.
Surf along E facing shores will remain rough and choppy through the week due to the breezy trade winds. Long range models are showing a significant increase of wind waves from Wednesday through the end of the week due to a large fetch of strong trade winds setting up over and upstream of the state. This will lead to surf heights building and exceeding advisory thresholds along E facing shores during its peak.
Surf along S facing shores will remain small and near the seasonal average through the middle of this week. Mainly background S swell pulses linger in the longer range forecast.
