High pressure north of Hawaii will shift eastward by the week, causing trade winds to diminish. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the typically windier waters around Maui County and the Big Island through Thursday night.
Moderate north and east-facing shore surf continues to be generated by a short period northeast (040 degree) swell which will gradually diminish through tonight. Breezy winds will also bring rough conditions to east facing shores today, but will decline through the rest of the week.
The next small, medium-period northwest swell will arrive this weekend to bring a small bump in surf for west-facing shores. Along south- facing shores, expect small reinforcements to sustain small surf through the week.
Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Friday for Alenuihaha Channel-Big Island Leeward Waters-Big Island Southeast Waters- Maalaea Bay-Pailolo Channel.
